Ashish K Singh commented on KAFKA-1696: --------------------------------------- [~omkreddy] I had to convert this JIRA from sub-task to a new feature JIRA, to be able to create sub-tasks. Also created some sub-tasks. I have left most of them open, except the first one, for which I plan to submit a PR shortly. Also, I have partially looked into authentication via tokens, basically add a TokenAuthenticator, so if you are Ok with me taking up that task, I will be happy to. > Kafka should be able to generate Hadoop delegation tokens > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-1696 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1696 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: security > Reporter: Jay Kreps > Assignee: Parth Brahmbhatt > > For access from MapReduce/etc jobs run on behalf of a user. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
