Description

This module uses Hadoop's standard ResourceManager REST API to execute arbitrary commands on an unsecured Hadoop server.
Hadoop administrators should enable Kerberos authentication for these endpoints by changing the 'hadoop.security.authentication' setting in 'core-site.xml' from 'simple' (the default) to 'kerberos' before exposing the node to the network.
