Alejandro Abdelnur commented on MAPREDUCE-5663: ----------------------------------------------- This works out of the box for MR jobs because typically the same FileSystem where the IN/OUT data resides is he one used for the submission dir. If you need to use different FileSystems (i.e. distcp), this is achieved setting the {{MRJobConfig.JOB_NAMENODES}} property in the job confguration, this is handled in the {{JobSubmitter.java}} in the following code: {code} //get secret keys and tokens and store them into TokenCache private void populateTokenCache(Configuration conf, Credentials credentials) throws IOException{ readTokensFromFiles(conf, credentials); // add the delegation tokens from configuration String [] nameNodes = conf.getStrings(MRJobConfig.JOB_NAMENODES); LOG.debug("adding the following namenodes' delegation tokens:" + Arrays.toString(nameNodes)); if(nameNodes != null) { Path [] ps = new Path[nameNodes.length]; for(int i=0; i< nameNodes.length; i++) { ps[i] = new Path(nameNodes[i]); } TokenCache.obtainTokensForNamenodes(credentials, ps, conf); } } {code} > Add an interface to Input/Ouput Formats to obtain delegation tokens > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-5663 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5663 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Siddharth Seth > Assignee: Michael Weng > Attachments: MAPREDUCE-5663.4.txt, MAPREDUCE-5663.5.txt, > MAPREDUCE-5663.6.txt, MAPREDUCE-5663.patch.txt, MAPREDUCE-5663.patch.txt2, > MAPREDUCE-5663.patch.txt3 > > > Currently, delegation tokens are obtained as part of the getSplits / > checkOutputSpecs calls to the InputFormat / OutputFormat respectively. > This works as long as the splits are generated on a node with kerberos > credentials.
