Security uses proprietary Sun APIs
----------------------------------

Key: HADOOP-7211
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7211
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: security
Reporter: Eli Collins
Assignee: Luke Lu

The security code uses the KrbException, Credentials, and PrincipalName classes from sun.security.krb5 and Krb5Util from sun.security.jgss.krb5. These may disappear in future Java releases. Also Hadoop does not compile using jdks that do not support them, for example with the following IBM JDK.
