HCat Thrift Server AKA Metastore won't start up successfully the first time
without a kinit
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HCATALOG-90
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HCATALOG-90
Project: HCatalog
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Francis Liu
Hcat thrift server (AKA metastore) wouldn't startup because it kept failing to
access secured hdfs. The server does not seem to login with kerberos even after
providing the credentials in the config file. I'm assuming that's what it's
supposed to use:
hive.metastore.kerberos.keytab.file
hive.metastore.kerberos.principal
Looking through the hive code, the hdfs client does not seem to pickup any
kerberos configurations/credentials.
I finally got the server to start by manually logging myself in via kinit then
running the start script. Is this normal operation? I didn't see it documented
in installation instructions.
