Duo Zhang commented on HBASE-27204:
-----------------------------------
But the problem here is that, if the authentication is succeeded, the client
should send connection header immediately but the logic you added in
HBASE-24579 will cause the client hang there until read timeout...
For me, I think the problem is in the implementation of your customized sasl
implementation... If client can just set itself as complete just after getting
the initial response, it should be considered as simple auth, otherwise, at
least it should check what the server returns to it...
> BlockingRpcClient will hang for 20 seconds when SASL is enabled after
> finishing negotiation

> Key: HBASE-27204
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-27204
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: rpc, sasl, security
> Reporter: Duo Zhang
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 2.5.0, 3.0.0-alpha-4, 2.4.14
>
>
> Found this when implementing HBASE-27185. When running TestSecureIPC, if
> BlockingRpcClient is used, the tests will spend much more time comparing to
> NettyRpcClient.
> The problem is that, for the normal kerberos authentication, the last step is
> client send a reply to server, so after server receives the last token, it
> will not write anything back but expect client to send connection header.
> In HBASE-24579, for reading the error message, we added a readReply after the
> SaslClient indicates that the negotiation is completed. But as said above,
> for normal cases, we will not write anything back from server side, so the
> client will hang there and only throw an exception when timeout is reached,
> which is 20 seconds.
> This nearly makes the BlockingRpcClient unusable when sasl is enabled, as it
> will hang 20 seconds when connecting...
