Eron Wright  commented on FLINK-7860:
-------------------------------------

If I understand correctly, your scenario is as follows.   You have a job 
submission service that launches Flink jobs into YARN.  You'd like the Flink 
CLI to authenticate to YARN using a super account ('flink') but impersonating a 
user ('joe').  You'd like the AM to run as 'joe' and to use 'joe.keytab' to 
authenticate to HDFS during job execution.

Why not run the Flink CLI using joe.keytab?   I don't see the need to use a 
super account here.  Keep in mind that the CLI also executes Joe's code (to 
construct a job graph) and thus might grab your super account keytab.
