------------------------------------
Summary: HMaster fails to start with secure Hadoop
Key: HBASE-7285
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7285
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: security
Affects Versions: 0.96.0
Reporter: Gary Helmling
In current trunk, HMaster will fail to start with secure Hadoop if the user
starting the process has not obtained a kerberos TGT. The user starting the
process should not be required to have a TGT, as the HMaster process self logs
in using the configured keytab and principal.
This is due to a log line in the HMaster constructor executing prior to the
{{User.login()}} step:
{code}
LOG.info("hbase.rootdir=" + FSUtils.getRootDir(this.conf) +
", hbase.cluster.distributed=" +
this.conf.getBoolean("hbase.cluster.distributed", false));
{code}
Here the FSUtils.getRootDir() winds up hitting the NameNode. The fix is
trivial, moving the log line to follow {{User.login()}}.
