If it doesn't already, Mesos could have its own implementation of CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend that provides that functionality. The only difference is that you'd run something before the executor starts up, not before each task. YARN actually doesn't do it that way; YARN provides the tokens to the executor before the process starts, so that when you call "UserGroupInformation.getCurrentUser()" the tokens are already there. One way of doing that is by writing the tokens to a file and setting the KRB5CCNAME env variable when starting the process. You can check the Hadoop sources for details. Not sure if there's another way. > > *From: *Marcelo Vanzin > *Sent: *Friday, June 26, 2015 6:20 PM > *To: *Dave Ariens > *Cc: *Tim Chen; Olivier Girardot; user@spark.apache.org > *Subject: *Re: Accessing Kerberos Secured HDFS Resources from Spark on > Mesos > > On Fri, Jun 26, 2015 at 3:09 PM, Dave Ariens <dari...@blackberry.com> > wrote: > >> Would there be any way to have the task instances in the slaves call >> the UGI login with a principal/keytab provided to the driver? >> > > That would only work with a very small number of executors.
