----------------------------------
+1 for the idea.
> Add support for nested groups in LdapGroupsMapping
> --------------------------------------------------

> Key: HADOOP-12291
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12291
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: security
> Reporter: Gautam Gopalakrishnan
>
> When using {{LdapGroupsMapping}} with Hadoop, nested groups are not
> supported. So for example if user {{jdoe}} is part of group A which is a
> member of group B, the group mapping currently returns only group A.
> Currently this facility is available with {{ShellBasedUnixGroupsMapping}} and
> SSSD (or similar tools) but would be good to have this feature as part of
> {{LdapGroupsMapping}} directly.
