Alejandro Abdelnur commented on HADOOP-13805:
---------------------------------------------
[~xiaochen], sorry missed your NOV18 comment. The renewal thread should not be
started if there is no keytab, there is no point to do so because it will not
have the credentials (the info in the keytab) at renewal time.
> UGI.getCurrentUser() fails if user does not have a keytab associated

> Key: HADOOP-13805
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-13805
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: security
> Affects Versions: 2.8.0, 2.9.0, 3.0.0-alpha2
> Reporter: Alejandro Abdelnur
> Assignee: Xiao Chen
> Attachments: HADOOP-13805.01.patch, HADOOP-13805.02.patch,

> HADOOP-13558 intention was to avoid UGI from trying to renew the TGT when the
> UGI is created from an existing Subject as in that case the keytab is not
> 'own' by UGI but by the creator of the Subject.
> In HADOOP-13558 we introduced a new private UGI constructor
> {{UserGroupInformation(Subject subject, final boolean externalKeyTab)}} and
> we use with TRUE only when doing a {{UGI.loginUserFromSubject()}}.
> The problem is, when we call {{UGI.getCurrentUser()}}, and UGI was created
> via a Subject (via the {{UGI.loginUserFromSubject()}} method), we call {{new
> UserGroupInformation(subject)}} which will delegate to
> {{UserGroupInformation(Subject subject, final boolean externalKeyTab)}} and
> that will use externalKeyTab == *FALSE*.
> Then the UGI returned by {{UGI.getCurrentUser()}} will attempt to login using
> a non-existing keytab if the TGT expired.
> This problem is experienced in {{KMSClientProvider}} when used by the HDFS
> filesystem client accessing an an encryption zone.
