Yongjun Zhang commented on HDFS-7036:
-------------------------------------
My understanding is that the main point of disagreement here is about whether
there is real damage. I have been asking for *concrete* example of damage,
which I don't see in any prior comments. I'd appreciate it if it's provided.
Thanks.
> HDFS-6776 fix requires to upgrade insecure cluster, which means quite some
> user pain

> Key: HDFS-7036
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-7036
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: webhdfs
> Affects Versions: 2.5.1
> Reporter: Yongjun Zhang
> Assignee: Yongjun Zhang
> Attachments: HDFS-7036.001.patch
>
>
> 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.
