Description

The documentation regarding Shiro authentication using KnoxJwtRealm doesn't mention that it internally builds upon Hadoop groups. This gives the impression that role or group information as returned by Knox will be used, but that is not the case. Additionally, Zeppelin doesn't ship with Hadoop, so the user must make the Hadoop libraries available in order to use KnoxJwtRealm.
