Jian He commented on YARN-3021:
-------------------------------
bq. it seems that "mapreduce.job.hdfs-servers.token-renewal.exclude" is still
going to be a user-facing API only used for short-term
Yes, it is a MR land config. The difference is that YARN won't need to expose
an API used for MR only. After all, we are now giving a temp solution for MR
itself, right ?
> YARN's delegation-token handling disallows certain trust setups to operate
> properly over DistCp

> 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.
