Ah, I see, however getDTFromRemote isn't the right place to set the service.
Forcing all tokens to be converted to hftp tokens in this outside method is
artificially limiting.

Arguably, the code needs to be refactored. However, I need the hadoop fetchdt
command to work the same way. getDTfromRemote is the primitive that is used to
fetch hftp tokens for both the hftp filesystem and fetchdt. I was trying to
minimize refactoring to the bare minimum, since this was urgent for 205.

> The JT may have issues renewing hftp tokens which disrupt long distcp jobs.
> The problem is the JT's delegation token renewal code is built on brittle
> assumptions. The token's service field contains only the "ip:port" pair.
> The renewal process assumes that the scheme must be hdfs. If that fails due
> to a {{VersionMismatchException}}, it tries https based on another assumption
> that it must be hftp if it's not hdfs. A number of other exceptions, most
> commonly {{IOExceptions}}, can be generated which fouls up the renewal since
> it won't fallback to https.
