> There is a possibility that there may be a CSRF-based attack on various
> hadoop components, and thus, there is an effort to add a block for all
> incoming http requests if they do not contain a X-XSRF-Header header. (See
> HADOOP-12691 for motivation)
> This has potential to affect HS2 when running on thrift-over-http mode(if
> cookie-based-auth is used), and webhcat.
> We introduce new flags to determine whether or not we're using the filter,
> and if we are, we will automatically reject any http requests which do not
> contain this header.
> To allow this to work, we also need to make changes to our JDBC driver to
> automatically inject this header into any requests it makes. Also, any
> client-side programs/api not using the JDBC driver directly will need to make
> changes to add a X-XSRF-Header header to the request to make calls to
> HS2/WebHCat if this filter is enabled.
