------------------------------------
Although security really isn't my area, since this is just a backport to 6x I
can probably handle the review if no one else is looking at it...

> Solr should support Proxy User / Secure Impersonation for authentication, as
> supported by hadoop
> (http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/Superusers.html)
> and supported by the hadoop AuthenticationFilter (which we use for the
> KerberosPlugin).
> There are a number of use cases, but a common one is this:
> There is a front end for searches (say, Hue http://gethue.com/) that supports
> its own login mechanisms. If the cluster uses kerberos for authentication,
> hue must have kerberos credentials for each user, which is a pain to manage.
> Instead, hue can be allowed to impersonate known users from known machines so
> it only needs its own kerberos credentials.
