-------------------------------------

Hi [~wheat9] and [~jingzhao], 

It has been quite a while since I created this jira as a follow-up of 
HDFS-6776, as we agreed in the discussion there. Would you please comment here?

Thanks a lot.


> HDFS-6776 fix requires to upgrade insecure cluster, which means quite some 
> user pain

>             Project: Hadoop HDFS
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: webhdfs
>    Affects Versions: 2.5.1

> Issuing command
> {code}
>  hadoop fs -lsr webhdfs://<insecureCluster>
> {code}
> at a secure cluster side fails with message "Failed to get the token ...", 
> similar symptom as reported in HDFS-6776.
> If the fix of HDFS-6776 is applied to only the secure cluster, doing 
> {code}
> distcp webhdfs://<insecureCluster> <secureCluster>
> {code}
> would fail same way.
> Basically running any application in secure cluster to access insecure 
> cluster via webhdfs would fail the same way, if the HDFS-6776 fix is not 
> applied to the insecure cluster.
> This could be quite some user pain. Filing this jira for a solution to make 
> user's life easier.
> One proposed solution was to add a msg-parsing mechanism in webhdfs, which is 
> a bit hacky. The other proposed solution is to do the same kind of hack at 
> application side, which means the same hack need to be applied in each 
> application.
> Thanks [~daryn], [~wheat9], [~jingzhao], [~tucu00] and [~atm] for the 
> discussion in HDFS-6776.
