>
> The principal names in the configuration for namenode, secondary namenode,
> backup namenode, need not be namenode specific, i.e. they need not be
> configured with keys suffixed with nameserviceId.
> This is because if principals were namenode specific, we would need a
> mechanism to figure out nameserviceId (to get the namenode specific
> principal) from fqdn of the files at the client.
> A simpler approach is to use _HOST pattern in the principal names. Hadoop
> RPC supports replacing the _HOST in the principal with the hostname of the
> service. Using this approach we need only one principal configuration for all
> namenodes and similarly one for all secondary namenodes or backup namenodes.
