Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-12563:
-------------------------------------------
bq. Too much of hadoop code (even UGI) is tagged as limited private when it has
escaped the nest.
Then someone should actually do the paperwork to change it. Until then, I'm
sticking with whats in the source code. This code is limited to HDFS and MR.
bq. Every incompatible feature that goes into 3.x moves 3.x further away from
being something people will want to adopt.
... where people = distribution vendors. The vast majority of folks using the
Hadoop stack aren't building it themselves anymore and won't really care if the
token file format changed since vendors are on the hook to make sure all of
their bits work together.

> hdfs fetchdt is missing some critical features and is geared almost
> exclusively towards HDFS operations. Additionally, the token files that are
> created use Java serializations which are hard/impossible to deal with in
> other languages. It should be replaced with a better utility in common that
> can read/write protobuf-based token files, has enough flexibility to be used
> with other services, and offers key functionality such as append and rename.
> The old version file format should still be supported for backward
> compatibility, but will be effectively deprecated.
> A follow-on JIRA will deprecrate fetchdt.
