Ravi Prakash commented on HADOOP-13123:
---------------------------------------
For completeness of this discussion, the patch for HADOOP-12563 was never
backported into branch-2 . It exists in trunk only so 3.x releases will have
it. I don't know if we really should make the token file format configurable,
but that's a discussion at a tangent... I'll save it for later.
> Permit the default hadoop delegation token file format to be configurable

> If one environment updates to using the new dtutil code and accompanying
> Credentials code, there is a backward compatibility issue with the default
> file format being JAVA. Older clients need to be updated to ask for a file
> in the legacy format (FORMAT_JAVA).
> As an aid to users in this trap, we can add a configuration property to set
> the default file format. When set to FORMAT_JAVA, the new server code will
> serve up legacy files without being asked. The default value for this
> property will remain FORMAT_PB. But affected users can add this config
> option to the services using the newer code.
