HDP Dependency for secured cluster !

From https://slider.incubator.apache.org/docs/troubleshooting.html

Slider instances not being able to create registry paths on secure clusters

This feature requires the YARN Resource Manager to do the setup securely of the user’s path in the registry

The RM must have the specific patch applied to do this. It is not in Apache Hadoop 2.6.0; it is in HDP-2.2.

*****************

1. Are there any other HDP dependencies ?
2. Is there a plan for removing all HDP dependences ? It will not be possible for all users to uptake HDP packages, e.g. when using other distributions like cloudera

Thanks,
