---------------------------------

Hey Ravi,

Thanks for this improvement!

Personally, I think "Please configure another method." can still be elaborated a bit if we're gonna get helpful with error messages anyway :)

> The message when security is enabled and authentication is configured to be simple is not explicit enough. It simply prints out "Authentication is required" and prints out a stack trace. The message should be "Authorization (hadoop.security.authorization) is enabled but authentication (hadoop.security.authentication) is configured as simple. Please configure another method."
