Description

Currently the auth filter is before static user filter by default. After YARN-3624, the filter order is no longer reversed. So the pseudo auth's allowing anonymous config is useless with both filters loaded in the new order, because static user will be created before presenting it to auth filter. The user can remove static user filter from the config to get anonymous user work.
