> Change TokenCache's reading of the binary token file
> ----------------------------------------------------

> Key: MAPREDUCE-3849
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-3849

> Assignee: Daryn Sharp

>
> When obtaining the tokens for a {{FileSystem}}, the {{TokenCache}} will read
> the binary token file if a token is not already in the {{Credentials}}.
> However, it will overwrite any existing tokens in the {{Credentials}} with
> the contents of the binary token file if a single token is missing. This may
> cause new tokens to be replaced with invalid/cancelled tokens from the binary
> file. The new tokens will not be canceled, and thus "leak" in the namenode
> until they expire.
> The binary tokens should be merged with, but not replace, existing tokens in
> the {{Credentials}}.
> The code that reads the binary token file is prefaced with:
> {code}
> //TODO: Need to come up with a better place to put
> //this block of code to do with reading the file
> {code}
> Also, the loading of the binary token file is the only reason that the
> {{TokenCache}} has to use {{getCanonicalService}}. If this linkage can be
> broken, then the 1-to-1 filesystem to token service coupling may be removed.
> And use of {{getCanonicalService}} can be removed in a subsequent jira.
