    yes as @pwendell mentions in pr #265  if you are going to store anything in 
a file, you have to make sure its a secure location and if its transferred 
people might want the option for that connection to be secure.  
    
    Also we don't want this running when running in yarn mode so we need a way 
to only do it for other modes.
    
    The jira doesn't have much details. Can you explain the end goal?  Are you 
wanting to support multiple users all using different credentials? can you give 
more details on the entire setup.  
    
    If something like this does go in we definitely need to document how people 
configure it.
    
    Who do you have the spark daemons running as and how are they having 
permissions to read the users keytab?  That in itself could be a huge security 
hole. If one user can use the keytab of another.
