Chris Nauroth updated HDFS-7073:
--------------------------------
Attachment: HDFS-7073.2.patch
I'm attaching patch v2. This takes a different approach. We detect if the
NameNode interaction falls back to simple auth. If so, then we know we need to
skip SASL for DataTransferProtocol too.
It's a bigger patch than v1, mostly due to mechanical method signature changes.
I needed to plumb through the various RPC client and proxy layers to pull back
out a flag indicating if fallback to simple auth occurred.
In addition to the new tests and existing tests changed in the patch, I also
manually tested file write and read from a client running secure configuration
to a cluster running unsecure configuration.
Jitendra and Yi, how does this look?

> HDFS-2856 implemented general SASL support on DataTransferProtocol. Part of
> that work also included a fallback mode in case the remote cluster is running
> under a different configuration without SASL. I've discovered a few edge
> case configurations that this did not support:
> * Cluster is unsecured, but has block access tokens enabled. This is not
> something I've seen done in practice, but I've heard historically it has been
> allowed. The HDFS-2856 code relied on seeing an empty block access token to
> trigger fallback, and this doesn't work if the unsecured cluster actually is
> using block access tokens.
> * The DataNode has an unpublicized testing configuration property that could
> be used to skip the privileged port check. However, the HDFS-2856 code is
> still enforcing requirement of SASL when the ports are not privileged, so
> this would force existing configurations to make changes to activate SASL.
> This patch will restore the old behavior so that these edge case
> configurations will continue to work the same way.
