----------------------------------------
Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
> Canonical-ize hostnames for Hive metastore, and HS2 servers.
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-17218
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-17218
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HiveServer2, Metastore, Security
> Affects Versions: 2.2.0, 1.2.2, 3.0.0
> Reporter: Mithun Radhakrishnan

> Attachments: HIVE-17218.1.patch

>
> Currently, the {{HiveMetastoreClient}} and {{HiveConnection}} do not
> canonical-ize the hostnames of the metastore/HS2 servers. In deployments
> where there are multiple such servers behind a VIP, this causes a number of
> inconveniences:
> # The client-side configuration (e.g. {{hive.metastore.uris}} in
> {{hive-site.xml}}) needs to specify the VIP's hostname, and cannot use a
> simplified CNAME, in the thrift URL. If the
> {{hive.metastore.kerberos.principal}} is specified using {{_HOST}}, one sees
> GSS failures as follows:
> {noformat}
> hive --hiveconf hive.metastore.kerberos.principal=hive/_h...@grid.myth.net
> --hiveconf
> hive.metastore.uris="thrift://simplified-hcat-cname.grid.myth.net:56789"
> ...
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException:
> java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate
> org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.SessionHiveMetaStoreClient
> at
> org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.session.SessionState.start(SessionState.java:542)
> at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.run(CliDriver.java:677)
> at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.main(CliDriver.java:621)
> ...
> {noformat}
> This is because {{_HOST}} is filled in with the CNAME, and not the
> canonicalized name.
> # Oozie workflows that use HCat {{<credential>}} have to always use the VIP
> hostname, and can't use {{_HOST}}-based service principals, if the CNAME
> differs from the VIP name.
> If the client-code simply canonical-ized the hostnames, it would enable the
> use of both simplified CNAMEs, and _HOST in service principals.
