Kan Zhang commented on HADOOP-8779:
-----------------------------------
I think the "AuthMethod" field in the Connection class should be decided
primarily on 1) connection type (initial or subsequent) and 2) what auth method
is configured for that connection type. What credentials the client currently
has only comes into play when multiple auth methods are configured for the
intended connection type and we have a choice.
> Use tokens regardless of authentication type
