Gary Helmling commented on HBASE-15780:
---------------------------------------
+1 on the patch.
Personally I think it would be a little cleaner if UGI handled this itself the
same way it does with refreshing tickets from the credential cache, but that's
not something we can really control. I have a patch up on HADOOP-9567 that
adds a background thread for keytab based logins but it doesn't look to be
getting any traction.
