[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-9852) UGI login user keytab and
principal should not be static
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9852?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13733670#comment-13733670 ]
Daryn Sharp commented on HADOOP-9852:
-------------------------------------
A side-effect of this hacky swapping of the static keytab/principal results in an unintended bug. Invoking reloginFromKeytab on the UGI returned by loginUserFromKeytabAndReturnUGI will relogin with the login user's keytab/principal! The UGI thinks it's the original principal but has a TGT for the current login user.
The UGI should remember it's login conf to ensure it will relogin as the correct principal, and to allow desynch'ing more methods.

> The static keytab and principal for the login user is problematic. The login conf explicitly references these statics. As a result, loginUserFromKeytabAndReturnUGI is unnecessarily synch'ed on the class to swap out the login user's keytab and principal, login, then restore the keytab/principal. This method's synch blocks further de-synching of other methods.
