HDFS_FDW does not support kerberos authentication.
The sentence you have pasted above is from the wish list or say TODO
list, here is what it says:
"Currently the HDFS_FDW only provides READ capabilities but EDB is planning
the following additional functionality:"

The functionality was not implemented. I think the part of confusion might
be
due to the formatting of the list in the blog.

You can follow the README[1] of HDFS_FDW to get an idea of how to use it.
