Jing Zhao created HDFS-7092: ------------------------------- Summary: Document the logic about Delegation Token is generated and used in both HA and non-HA setup Key: HDFS-7092 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-7092 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Jing Zhao
Currently DT's generation and usage have complicated logic in HA and non-HA setup. This includes the DT's duplication logic in HA setup, its kind and address setup, its selection logic, etc. In the meanwhile, users can utilize the RESTful API to get DT and use DT in non-hadoop clients. It is hard to write correct code if the logic is not well understood. Thus we should provide better documentation describing the DT logic. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
