> The UGI {{checkTGTAndReloginFromKeytab()}} method checks certain conditions
> and if they are met it invokes the {{reloginFromKeytab()}}. The
> {{reloginFromKeytab()}} method then fails with an {{IOException}}
> "loginUserFromKeyTab must be done first" because there is no keytab
> associated with the UGI.
> The {{checkTGTAndReloginFromKeytab()}} method checks if there is a keytab
> ({{isKeytab}} UGI instance variable) associated with the UGI, if there is one
> it triggers a call to {{reloginFromKeytab()}}. The problem is that the
> {{keytabFile}} UGI instance variable is NULL, and that triggers the mentioned
> {{IOException}}.
> The root of the problem seems to be when creating a UGI via the
> {{UGI.loginUserFromSubject(Subject)}} method, this method uses the
> {{UserGroupInformation(Subject)}} constructor, and this constructor does the
> following to determine if there is a keytab or not.
> {code}
> this.isKeytab = KerberosUtil.hasKerberosKeyTab(subject);
> {code}
> If the {{Subject}} given had a keytab, then the UGI instance will have the
> {{isKeytab}} set to TRUE.
> It sets the UGI instance as it would have a keytab because the Subject has a
> keytab. This has 2 problems:
> First, it does not set the keytab file (and this, having the {{isKeytab}} set
> to TRUE and the {{keytabFile}} set to NULL) is what triggers the
> {{IOException}} in the method {{reloginFromKeytab()}}.
> Second (and even if the first problem is fixed, this still is a problem), it
> assumes that because the subject has a keytab it is up to UGI to do the
> relogin using the keytab. This is incorrect if the UGI was created using the
> {{UGI.loginUserFromSubject(Subject)}} method. In such case, the owner of the
> Subject is not the UGI, but the caller, so the caller is responsible for
> renewing the Kerberos tickets and the UGI should not try to do so.
