daryn-sharp commented on issue #24785: [SPARK-27937][CORE] Revert partial logic 
for auto namespace discovery
URL: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/24785#issuecomment-500484715
 
 
   The client should specify all the required filesystems directly or 
indirectly via viewfs.  It’s a very user specific use case to assume that not 
using viewfs means the config should be scanned for all federated/HA namespaces.
   
   A client should never distinguish between filesystem types when acquiring 
tokens.  Viewfs just happens to be a handy way to implicitly collect tokens for 
all mounted filesystems rather than explicitly specifying them but it should 
not be the basis for any conditionalized behavior.
   
   Federation is a server-side only configuration for enabling multi-namespace 
DNs.  A client cannot and should not distinguish between a federated and 
non-federated namespace.  Technically a federation config doesn’t even belong 
in a client config and as such should never be used by a client.
   
   In short, the user’s use case is better solved specifying the filesystems.  
If the federation configs are leaked into the client configs, it should be easy 
to replace them with a conf key of required filesystems.
