Andrew Purtell commented on HADOOP-8152:
----------------------------------------

I think we would like to work together here. Nobody is doing obviously dumb things and asking for forgiveness later IMHO. We'd like our projects to integrate with Hadoop when its security features are enabled. Unfortunately to do so requires use of classes/methods now marked as private or whatever. This area is obviously still a work in progress and not conducive to easy reuse or extension. We can be blamed for wanting to do the right thing, but that seems counterproductive.

> Currently projects like Hive and HBase use UserGroupInformation and SecurityUtil methods. Both of these classes are marked LimitedPrivate(HDFS,MR) but should probably be marked more generally public.
