Andrew Purtell commented on HADOOP-10786:
-----------------------------------------
Shouldn't this be a higher priority than 'Minor'? The end of public updates to
Java 7 will be April 2015. A silent failure to re-login from keytab after TGT
expiry dooms any long running process that wants to use secure RPC. Anyone who
cares about security and about running the best performing supported Java
runtime shortly will be forced to locally patch their core libraries.
> Patch that fixes UGI#reloginFromKeytab on java 8

> Krb5LoginModule changed subtly in java 8: in particular, if useKeyTab and
> storeKey are specified, then only a KeyTab object is added to the Subject's
> private credentials, whereas in java <= 7 both a KeyTab and some number of
> KerberosKey objects were added.
> The UGI constructor checks whether or not a keytab was used to login by
> looking if there are any KerberosKey objects in the Subject's private
> credentials. If there are, then isKeyTab is set to true, and otherwise it's
> set to false.
> Thus, in java 8 isKeyTab is always false given the current UGI
> implementation, which makes UGI#reloginFromKeytab fail silently.
> Attached patch will check for a KeyTab object on the Subject, instead of a
> KerberosKey object. This fixes relogins from kerberos keytabs on Oracle java
> 8, and works on Oracle java 7 as well.
