Gary Helmling commented on HBASE-17439:
---------------------------------------
That doesn't explain why the remote call needs to be done as the end user. In
general, we should not be using UGI.doAs() to carry through user identities.
It is better to pass them explicitly.

> The ugi obtained from RPC on the server side does not contain required
> Kerberos credentials to access hbase table. Hence the need to pass
> authentication Token from region server onto the ugi
> In the course of solving HBASE-17435, [~jerryhe] and I noticed that it is
> cumbersome for other coprocessor (such as SecureBulkLoadEndpoint) to retrieve
> authentication Token from region server.
> Currently a Connection is needed to communicate with TokenProvider. Care is
> needed not to introduce dead lock on the server side.
> This JIRA is to investigate feasibility of bypassing Connection /
> TokenProvider in the retrieval of authentication Token for custom
> coprocessor. This involves some refactoring around
> AuthenticationTokenSecretManager.
