> Currently, in a Kerberos cluster, you can use the {{<credentials>}} section
> to tell Oozie to get delegation tokens for HCat/Metastore, HS2, HBase, etc.
> However, this is defined in the workflow.xml, which means that Oozie will
> always try to get those tokens, even in an non-secure cluster, where it will
> likely fail. We should add a mechanism to enable/disable getting credentials
> so that the same workflow.xml can be used in both a secure and non-secure
> environment; as it is now, you have to maintain two copies of the
> workflow.xml.
> We can do this fairly simply by adding a job-level property (e.g.
> oozie.credentials.skip=true) that would skip getting delegation tokens.
