> {{UserGroupInformation}} only allows kerberos users to be logged in via the ticket cache when running hadoop commands.  {{UGI}} allows a keytab to be used, but it's only exposed programatically.  This forces keytab-based users running hadoop commands to periodically issue a kinit from the keytab.  A race condition exists during the kinit when the ticket cache is deleted and re-created.  Hadoop commands will fail when the ticket cache does not momentarily exist.
