> The underlying JWT token within the hadoop-jwt cookie should be able to have
> no expiration time. This allows the token lifecycle to be the same as the
> cookie that contains it.
> Current validation processing of the token interprets the absence of an
> expiration time as requiring a new token to be acquired. JWT itself considers
> the exp to be an optional claim. As such, this patch will change the
> processing to accept a null expiration as valid for as long as the cookie is
> presented.
