Robert Kanter commented on YARN-3021:
-------------------------------------
Ok, then I think it should probably fine; though I'd like to let some others
take a look.
Also, is there a reason why the patch moves {{context.setResourcere(resource)}}?
> YARN's delegation-token handling disallows certain trust setups to operate
> properly

> Key: YARN-3021
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-3021
> Project: Hadoop YARN
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: security
> Affects Versions: 2.3.0
> Reporter: Harsh J
> Attachments: YARN-3021.001.patch, YARN-3021.patch
>
>
> Consider this scenario of 3 realms: A, B and COMMON, where A trusts COMMON,
> and B trusts COMMON (one way trusts both), and both A and B run HDFS + YARN
> clusters.
> Now if one logs in with a COMMON credential, and runs a job on A's YARN that
> needs to access B's HDFS (such as a DistCp), the operation fails in the RM,
> as it attempts a renewDelegationToken(…) synchronously during application
> submission (to validate the managed token before it adds it to a scheduler
> for automatic renewal). The call obviously fails cause B realm will not trust
> A's credentials (here, the RM's principal is the renewer).
> In the 1.x JobTracker the same call is present, but it is done asynchronously
> and once the renewal attempt failed we simply ceased to schedule any further
> attempts of renewals, rather than fail the job immediately.
> We should change the logic such that we attempt the renewal but go easy on
> the failure and skip the scheduling alone, rather than bubble back an error
> to the client, failing the app submission. This way the old behaviour is
> retained.
