(implementation of GroupMappingServiceProvider)

                 Key: HADOOP-6864
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6864
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: security
            Reporter: Erik Steffl
             Fix For: 0.22.0


The netgroups implementation of GroupMappingServiceProvider (see 
ShellBasedUnixGroupsNetgroupMapping.java) does a fork of a unix command to get 
the netgroups of a user. Since the group resolution happens in the servers, 
this might be costly. This jira aims at providing a JNI-based implementation 
for GroupMappingServiceProvider.

Note that this is similar to what 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6818 does for implementation of 
GroupMappingServiceProvider that  supports only unix groups.
