             Summary: Webhdfs client is fragile to token renewal errors
                 Key: HDFS-4805
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4805
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: webhdfs
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha, 0.23.0, 3.0.0
            Reporter: Daryn Sharp
            Assignee: Daryn Sharp
            Priority: Critical


Webhdfs internally acquires a token that will be used for DN-based operations.  
The token renewer in common will try to renew that token.  If a renewal fails 
for any reason, it will try to get another token.  If that fails, it gives up 
and the token webhdfs holds will soon expire.

A transient network outage or a restart of the NN may cause webhdfs to be left 
holding an expired token, effectively rendering webhdfs useless.  This is fatal 
for daemons.
