Mingliang Liu commented on HADOOP-13066:
----------------------------------------
I'm wondering if it merits to improve the javadoc of the {{loginUserFromKeytab()}} method.
# To briefly document that, the logged-in user is process-global and there is no atomic semantic
between {{loginUserFromKeytab()}} and {{getLoginUser()}} calls.
# Add {{@see loginUserFromKeytabAndReturnUGI()}} for reference
> UserGroupInformation.loginWithKerberos/getLoginUser is not thread-safe

> When calling loginFromKerberos, a static variable is set up with the result. If someone
logs in as a different user from a different thread, the call to getLoginUser will not return
the correct UGI.
