Vrushali C created YARN-6989:
--------------------------------

             Summary: Ensure timeline service v2 codebase gets UGI from HttpServletRequest in a consistent way
                 Key: YARN-6989
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-6989
             Project: Hadoop YARN
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: Vrushali C


As noticed during discussions in YARN-6820, the webservices in timeline service v2 get the UGI created from the user obtained by invoking getRemoteUser on the HttpServletRequest . 

It will be good to use getUserPrincipal instead of invoking getRemoteUser on the HttpServletRequest. 

Filing jira to update the code. 

Per Java EE documentations for 6 and 7, the behavior around getRemoteUser and getUserPrincipal is listed at:

http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/tutorial/doc/gjiie.html#bncba
https://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/tutorial/security-webtier003.htm

{code}
getRemoteUser, which determines the user name with which the client authenticated. The getRemoteUser method returns the name of the remote user (the caller) associated by the container with the request. If no user has been authenticated, this method returns null.

getUserPrincipal, which determines the principal name of the current user and returns a java.security.Principal object. If no user has been authenticated, this method returns null. Calling the getName method on the Principal returned by getUserPrincipal returns the name of the remote user.
