LuChengxiang updated FLINK-41435:
---------------------------------
Description:
*Background*
Flink periodically obtains HDFS delegation tokens and distributes them through
HadoopDelegationTokenReceiver. The receiver currently adds the new credentials
to UserGroupInformation.getCurrentUser() on the refresh thread. Long-lived
Hadoop clients capture a UGI when their DFSClient is created, and subsequent
RPC connections use tokens from that captured UGI.
If the refresh thread's current UGI is not the UGI captured by the client, the
client continues using the startup token even though a new token was obtained
successfully. The job later fails with SecretManager$InvalidToken when the
startup token reaches its 24h deadline.
*How it is triggered*
This was observed in a Kubernetes application-mode job with no
connector-specific security setup. A token refresh generated a new HDFS token
and the receiver logged success, but FileSystemJobResultStore and checkpoint
storage continued using the token created at startup. An earlier test build
already skipped the second security installation (`Security configuration is
already installed`) but still hit the 24h delegation-token deadline. This
confirms that install idempotency alone does not address the issue; the
token-refresh target UGI is still wrong.
FLINK-27204 (1.19+) moved FileSystemJobResultStore I/O onto the shared
cluster-io executor. DefaultDelegationTokenManager uses the same executor for
periodic token refresh. Java thread-pool workers inherit the
AccessControlContext/Subject of the thread that first creates the worker, not
the Subject at executor construction. A worker can therefore see a different
UGI through getCurrentUser() than the login/security-context UGI captured by
the Hadoop client.
This is consistent with why the older 1.18 path did not show the issue:
FileSystemJobResultStore I/O was synchronous, and the token-refresh executor
was not shared with JRS I/O. 1.15 did not have the unified delegation-token
manager path at all.
*Root cause*
HadoopDelegationTokenReceiver targets getCurrentUser() of the refresh thread.
That target is not guaranteed to be the UGI held by the HadoopSecurityContext
or the UGI captured by a long-lived FileSystemJobResultStore / checkpoint
DFSClient. HadoopFSDelegationTokenProvider also performs its
Kerberos/token-required checks using the current user and creates a short-lived
UGI for token acquisition.
*Proposed change*
* Add an accessor for the UGI held by HadoopSecurityContext.
* In HadoopDelegationTokenReceiver, add refreshed credentials to the
security-context UGI, current UGI, and login UGI, deduplicated by object
identity.
* In HadoopFSDelegationTokenProvider, resolve delegation-token necessity under
the security-context UGI and close FileSystem instances created under the
short-lived login UGI.
* Add regression coverage for a refresh thread whose current user differs from
the security-context user.
*Scope*
This issue covers receiver/provider UGI targeting and client credential
visibility. It does not cover SecurityUtils.install idempotency,
partial-install rollback, or arbitrary later changes to the process login user
by user code.
*Testing*
* A JVM probe confirmed that a fixed thread pool created under Subject A but
first submitted under Subject B runs subsequent tasks under Subject B.
* Unit/integration coverage should verify that refreshed credentials reach the
UGI held by HadoopSecurityContext and the login/current UGIs used by long-lived
clients.
* A deployed build with the focused fix should survive the 24h token deadline
and continue checkpointing without SecretManager$InvalidToken.
*Acceptance criteria*
* Token refresh updates the UGI used by FileSystemJobResultStore and checkpoint
DFSClient.
* Refresh does not depend on the Subject inherited by the shared cluster-io
worker.
* A long-running job survives the 24h HDFS token deadline.
