In this case though, Hive requires a Hadoop dependency and since this catalog is likely used in that context, `UserGroupInformation` seems like it would produce more consistent behavior with the Spark/Hive engine itself. Other catalog implementation probably should not use UGI since they may be running on environments where hadoop is not available (e.g. some flink environments don't have hadoop). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
