> Upgrade to Google Auth 0.7.1
> ----------------------------
>
> Key: BEAM-2642
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-2642
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: sdk-java-gcp
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 2.1.0
> Reporter: Luke Cwik
> Assignee: Luke Cwik
> Fix For: 2.2.0
>
>
> Looking up application default credentials on a GCE VM can fail due to VM
> metadata server being unavailable during VM launch. This is a rare event but
> Google Cloud Dataflow customers hit this rare case one or two times a month
> due to the sheer number of VMs. GCE attempted to mitigate VM metadata server
> unavailability but were only able to reduce it be an order of magnitude thus
> we need support from the client to retry. Additionally, when contacting the
> GCE VM metadata server, we should be using the fixed IP address avoiding the
> nameserver lookup (another potential point of failure).
> Problem area in the code:
> https://github.com/google/google-auth-library-java/blob/b94f8e4d02bf6917af2e2f7ef8d7114a51dbcfa8/oauth2_http/java/com/google/auth/oauth2/DefaultCredentialsProvider.java#L261
> Note that the code in this library and the Apiary auth support code are very
> similar. The fix was done within the Apiary auth code (note the use of the
> static IP address and also the presence of a fixed number of retries):
> https://github.com/google/google-api-java-client/blob/4fc8c099d9db5646770868cc1bc9a33c9225b3c7/google-api-client/src/main/java/com/google/api/client/googleapis/auth/oauth2/OAuth2Utils.java#L74
> It turned out that the fixes resulted in zero future customer contacts about
> this issue.
> Google Auth 0.7.1 was released containing these fixes mentioned in
> https://github.com/google/google-auth-library-java/issues/109
