Chris Nauroth created HADOOP-9888: ------------------------------------- Summary: KerberosName static initialization gets default realm, which is unneeded in non-secure deployment. Key: HADOOP-9888 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9888 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Components: security Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 2.1.1-beta Reporter: Chris Nauroth
{{KerberosName}} has a static initialization block that looks up the default realm. Running with Oracle JDK7, this code path triggers a DNS query. In some environments, we've seen this DNS query block and time out after 30 seconds. This is part of static initialization, and the class is referenced from {{UserGroupInformation#initialize}}, so every daemon and every shell command experiences this delay. This occurs even for non-secure deployments, which don't need the default realm. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
