Summary: Use hadoop.security.auth_to_local if available Key: KAFKA-5801 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5801 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 0.11.0.0, 0.10.2.0, 0.9.0.1, 0.8.2.2 Environment: hadoop 2.6 Reporter: Ruslan Dautkhanov Priority: Critical As discussed in [comments for KAFKA-5764|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5764?focusedCommentId=16143499&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-16143499], would be great if Kafka would optionally use `hadoop.security.auth_to_local` whenever available and fallback to `sasl.kerberos.principal.to.local.rules` if `hadoop.security.auth_to_local` isn't set / isn't available. We have so many components use `hadoop.security.auth_to_local` - including hdfs, yarn, hive, spark, impala and it seems that we would need to duplicate `auth_to_local` rules into Kafka config. We have a lot of rules in `hadoop.security.auth_to_local` so it would be much easier to maintain if it's in one place. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
