             Summary: (Security) Oozie style delegation tokens for HDFS/HBase
                 Key: STORM-346
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-346
             Project: Apache Storm (Incubating)
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Robert Joseph Evans


Oozie has the ability to fetch delegation tokens on behalf of other users by running as a super user that can become a proxy user for almost anyone else.

We should build one or more classes similar to AutoTGT that can fetch a delegation token for HDFS/HBase, renew the token if needed, and then once the token is about to permanently expire fetch a new one.

According to some people I have talked with HBase may need to have a JIRA filed against it so that it can pick up a new delegation token without needing to restart the process.
