Yongjun Zhang created HDFS-6510: ----------------------------------- Summary: WebHdfs clients clears the delegation token on retry (for HA), thus failing retry requests Key: HDFS-6510 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6510 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.4.0 Reporter: Yongjun Zhang Assignee: Yongjun Zhang
In WebHdfs clients connected to a HA HDFS service, when a failure (that is inferred as a failover) happens and retry is attempted, the delegation token previously initialized is cleared. For token based auth, this causes all the subsequent retries to fail due to auth errors. See "delegationToken = null" in method WebHdfsFileSystem.resetStateToFailOver. This issue would not only show up on failover, but happens more commonly when the first NN specified in the config is not reachable. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
