Description

When know invokes a slider rest api it will be doing so on behalf on an end user. There is a need to establish that "doAs" context for the invocation of Slider, so mechanisms such as those used by oozie (e.g. hadoop.proxyuser.oozie.* properties) need to be examined and evaluated for use in slider.
