----------------------------------

[~hexiaoqiao] thank you for your comment.

In fact, some request path may be found after task running (for one simple 
instance: hard code path in MapReduce/Spark job), if we don't obtain delegation 
token for that NameNode, the Job will be fail due to all tasks can not pass 
authentication.

Agree. For the cluster, it is not easy to know which namenodes a certain job 
would access. I think the mechanism could be more flexible and obtaining tokens 
from all namenodes seems to be too crude.
1, We can have a option maybe {{fs.viewfs.use.specific.filesystem}}, only when 
this option is true, the following logic works.
2, When submit a mr/spark job, if the input/output path is a viewfs path, 
instead of obtaining token from all namenode, we would visit and fetch token 
from only a SET of filesystem.
3, The raw filesystem of the input/output path should be in the SET
4, We may have a global option like {{fs.viewfs.global.filesystem}} which 
defines filesystems that all jobs may visit(Eg. the filesystem of tmp dir, 
scratch dir), and it should be added into the SET
5, Job-level option like {{fs.viewfs.additional.filesystem}} which defiles 
extra filesystem that the certain job need.
Since obtaining delegation tokens happens on the client side, the effect of the 
modification would be controllable.  
Any thought?

>
> Today when submit a job to a viewfs cluster, the client will try to obtain 
> delegation token from all namenodes under the viewfs while only one namespace 
> is actually used in this job. It would create many unnecessary rpc call to 
> the whole cluster.
> In viewfs situation, we can just obtain delegation token from specific 
> namenode rather than all namenodes.
