Mithun Radhakrishnan reassigned HIVE-17609:
-------------------------------------------
> Tool to manipulate delegation tokens
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-17609
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-17609
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Metastore, Security
> Affects Versions: 2.2.0, 3.0.0
> Reporter: Mithun Radhakrishnan
> Assignee: Mithun Radhakrishnan
>
> This was precipitated by OOZIE-2797. We had a case in production where the
> number of active metastore delegation tokens outstripped the ZooKeeper
> {{jute.maxBuffer}} size. Delegation tokens could neither be fetched, nor be
> cancelled.
> The root-cause turned out to be a miscommunication, causing delegation tokens
> fetched by Oozie *not* to be cancelled automatically from HCat. This was
> sorted out as part of OOZIE-2797.
> The issue exposed how poor the log-messages were, in the code pertaining to
> token fetch/cancellation. We also found need for a tool to query/list/purge
> delegation tokens that might have expired already. This patch introduces such
> a tool, and improves the log-messages.
