>
> We've seen some very rare cases where Oozie gets a Kerberos error when trying
> to get delegation tokens via the {{Credentials}} mechanism (e.g. getting HS2
> delegation tokens).
> We finally narrowed it down to slow KDC responses, so Oozie's Kerberos
> credentials have expired when it tries to get the delegation token. The
> reason we don't see this with Hadoop clients (DFSClient for HDFS, JobClient
> for MR, etc) is because they call
> {{UserGroupInformation#checkTGTAndReloginFromKeytab()}} before trying to
> connect.
> We should do a similar fix by calling
> {{UserGroupInformation#checkTGTAndReloginFromKeytab()}} before using a
> Credentials implementation.
