Alan Jackoway commented on NIFI-866:
------------------------------------
Ricky made that comment before I actually created that jira. He's referring to
NIFI-888.
While debugging for NIFI-888, I briefly added a log statement in every validate
call. I found it was called quite often. It seemed like every stats refresh was
calling validate, which may be more often than we want to be doing a login to
Kerberos.
> Kerberos support for Hadoop processors

> Key: NIFI-866
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-866
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Extensions
> Reporter: Ricky Saltzer
> Assignee: Ricky Saltzer
> Attachments: NIFI-866.2.patch, NIFI-866.3.patch,
> multiprincipal_secure_nonsecure.png

>
> Currently the AbstractHadoopProcessor only supports talking to non-kerberos
> Hadoop clusters. Even though the user might be supplying a Hadoop
> configuration which indicates the authentication implementation is Kerberos,
> NiFi will still attempt to connect via SIMPLE authentication. This results in
> a processor exception.
> *Goals:*
> * Minimal configuration for Kerberos support
> * Talk to both secure and non-secure clusters within the same NiFi instance
> * Support for more than one principal across processors (e.g. process A uses
> User1, processor B uses User2)
> *Non-Goals:*
> * Use of more than one krb5.conf at a time
> *Basic Usage Proposal:*
> Edit _conf/nifi.properties_ and modify the following values
> {code:title=nifi.properties|borderStyle=solid}
> ..
> # kerberos #
> nifi.kerberos.krb5.file=/path/to/krb5.conf
> {code}
