[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-7541) Add issuer field to delegation tokens

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7541?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13084346#comment-13084346 ] 

Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-7541:
---------------------------------------

Adding fields to the delegation token will break wire compatibility, which is really difficult. What is the use case where the service field is insufficient?

> Tokens currently lack traceability to its issuer.  This complicates the ability to reliably renew tokens.  Tokens should have an optional issuer.
