Yongjun Zhang commented on HADOOP-14445:
----------------------------------------

Thanks [~daryn].

When I say it's unavoidable, I mean, if we use a nameservice, we need to 
consult the config to know what's associated with the nameservice. For example 
NN nameservice, if we do "distcp hdfs://nameservice1:/xyz 
hdfs://nameservice2:/abc", we need to look up nameservice1/2 in config, to know 
the associated NNs.

Similarly, if we use shared delegation token for all KMS servers, we could 
define a kms-nameservice to associate with the set of KMS servers, and the 
tokenService can just be the kms-nameservice, and from the config, we can find 
out the associated KMS server information.

Does that make sense?

>    Affects Versions: 2.8.0, 3.0.0-alpha1

> As discovered in HADOOP-14441, KMS HA using LoadBalancingKMSClientProvider do 
> not share delegation tokens. (a client uses KMS address/port as the key for 
> delegation token)
> {code:title=DelegationTokenAuthenticatedURL#openConnection}
> if (!creds.getAllTokens().isEmpty()) {
>         InetSocketAddress serviceAddr = new InetSocketAddress(url.getHost(),
>             url.getPort());
>         Text service = SecurityUtil.buildTokenService(serviceAddr);
>         dToken = creds.getToken(service);
> {code}
> But KMS doc states:
> {quote}
> Delegation Tokens
> Similar to HTTP authentication, KMS uses Hadoop Authentication for delegation 
> tokens too.
> Under HA, A KMS instance must verify the delegation token given by another 
> KMS instance, by checking the shared secret used to sign the delegation 
> token. To do this, all KMS instances must be able to retrieve the shared 
> secret from ZooKeeper.
> {quote}
> We should either update the KMS documentation, or fix this code to share 
> delegation tokens.
