Open this JIRA to improve User class to: * Make it extensible as a base class, then can have subclasses like SimpleUser for Simple authn, KerberosUser for Kerberos authn, IdentityTokenUser for TokenAuth (in future), and etc. * Decouple it from Kerberos. * Refactor UGI class safely, move testing related codes out of it. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
