Migrated from ES-Hadoop. Contains several improvements regarding:
* Security
Takes advantage of the pluggable security in ES 2.2 and uses that in order
to grant the necessary permissions to the Hadoop libs. It relies on a
dedicated DomainCombiner to grant permissions only when needed only to the
libraries installed in the plugin folder
Add security checks for SpecialPermission/scripting and provides out of
the box permissions for the latest Hadoop 1.x (1.2.1) and 2.x (2.7.1)
* Testing
Uses a customized Local FS to perform actual integration testing of the
Hadoop stack (and thus to make sure the proper permissions and ACC blocks
are in place) however without requiring extra permissions for testing.
If needed, a MiniDFS cluster is provided (though it requires extra
permissions to bind ports)
Provides a RestIT test
* Build system
Picks the build system used in ES (still Gradle)
