Is there specific configuration required to ensure that workers get access
to UserGroupInformation when using TextIO? I am using Beam 2.22.0 on the
dataflow runner.

My main method looks like this below. My HdfsTextIOOptions extends
HadoopFileSystemOptions, and I set the HdfsConfiguration on the options
instance. I am using a keytab to authenticate. I'm not sure whether
using UserGroupInformation.setConfiguration() is sufficient to ensure the
UGI makes it to all the workers. My pipeline fails with this exception:

Error message from worker:
org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException: SIMPLE
authentication is not enabled. Available:[TOKEN, KERBEROS]


  public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    System.setProperty("java.security.krb5.realm", "MY_REALM");
    System.setProperty("java.security.krb5.kdc", "my.kdc.hostname");

    HdfsTextIOOptions options =
        PipelineOptionsFactory.fromArgs(args).withValidation().as(
            HdfsTextIOOptions.class);

    Storage storage = StorageOptions.getDefaultInstance().getService();
    URI uri = URI.create(options.getGcsKeytabPath());
    System.err.println(String
        .format("URI: %s, filesystem: %s, bucket: %s, filename: %s",
uri.toString(),
            uri.getScheme(), uri.getAuthority(),
            uri.getPath()));
    Blob keytabBlob = storage.get(BlobId.of(uri.getAuthority(),
        uri.getPath().startsWith("/") ? uri.getPath().substring(1) :
uri.getPath()));
    Path localKeytabPath = Paths.get("/tmp", uri.getPath());
    System.err.println(localKeytabPath);

    keytabBlob.downloadTo(localKeytabPath);

    Configuration conf = new Configuration();
    conf.set("fs.defaultFS", "hdfs://namenode:8020");
    conf.set("hadoop.security.authentication", "kerberos");

    UserGroupInformation
        .loginUserFromKeytab(options.getUserPrincipal(),
localKeytabPath.toString());
    UserGroupInformation.setConfiguration(conf);

    options.setHdfsConfiguration(ImmutableList.of(conf));

    Pipeline p = Pipeline.create(options);

    p.apply(TextIO.read().from(options.getInputFile()))
    ...

Thanks for any leads!
