Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-4415:
---------------------------------------------
Thanks. I'm not sure that's a critical use case, but I understand that we don't
really need to restrict it either. I hadn't thought of it as a regression.
Solving this issue properly should open up support for that use case. It's
unfortunate this issue has been around for as long as it has, but was only
recently discovered by the close scrutiny over a relatively obscure tool
({{ChangeSecret}}).
> Tracer requires instance.secret

> Key: ACCUMULO-4415
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-4415
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: trace
> Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 2.0.0

> Tracer incorrectly uses instance.secret for its /tracers area in ZooKeeper.
> The tracer does not use the Accumulo system credentials, and instead uses a
> specific tracer username and password. It should also not use the
> instance.secret (which is for the system credentials).
> A side effect of this bug is that ChangeSecret does not update the /tracers
> ACLs in ZooKeeper, preventing the tracer from working entirely after the
> instance.secret is changed.
> The following error will be seen in the monitor after the ChangeSecret tool
> is run.
> {code}
> Thread 'tracer' died.
