    Description

      If a user authenticates as USER@DOMAIN.COM, the string 'USER' will be passed to Sentry for authorisation. However, Sentry might expect lower-case user identifiers.

      Hadoop has auth_to_local rules that can accomplish this. In the short term, we should consider mapping all usernames to lower-case (controllable by a flag).
