Siddharth Seth commented on YARN-896:
-------------------------------------
bq. Robert Joseph Evans Applications may connect to other services such as
HBase or issue tokens for communication between its own containers. All of
these would require renewal.
The RM takes care of renewing tokens for HDFS - it can do this since the HDFS
token renewer class is in the RM's classpath. For other applications - Hive for
example - this isn't possible. I believe Hive ends up issuing tokens which are
valid for a longer duration to get around the renewal problem. I won't
necessarily link this to long running YARN though - other than the bit about
the token max-age.
