Thomas Rega commented on HIVE-14888:
------------------------------------

Looking over the code in UserGroupInformation, it looks like both that class 
and hive are currently doing the same thing. In the UserGroupInformation 
initialize() method, there is a useKerberos boolean which is set in the case 
where the string is "kerberos". Do we need this code duplicated in hive?

> SparkClientImpl checks for "kerberos" string in hiveconf only when 
> determining whether to use keytab file.

> The SparkClientImpl will only provide a principal and keytab argument if the 
> HADOOP_SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION in hive conf is set to "kerberos". This will 
> not work on clusters with Hadoop security enabled that are not configured as 
> "kerberos", for example, a cluster which is configured for "ldap".
> The solution is to call UserGroupInformation.isSecurityEnabled() instead.
