             Summary: Abort if security credentials become invalid
                 Key: HBASE-15618
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-15618
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Andrew Purtell


We are investigating a production incident where a bad keytab push seems to have caused one regionsever, serving hot regions, to lose the ability to communicate with clients. After the fact we see this server threw a steady stream of GSS initiate failed errors and lingered in an unhealthy state for too long. HBase did not automatically take any corrective action, like an abort of the affected process, which would have recovered service without operator intervention. 

Consider detecting and aborting if security credentials like the Kerberos keytab become invalid during runtime.
