[jira] [Created] (HADOOP-9645) KerberosAuthenticator NPEs on connect error

Daryn Sharp created HADOOP-9645:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: KerberosAuthenticator NPEs on connect error
                 Key: HADOOP-9645
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9645
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: fs
    Affects Versions: 2.0.5-alpha
            Reporter: Daryn Sharp
            Priority: Critical


A NPE occurs if there's a kerberos error during initial connect.  In this case, the NN was using a HTTP service principal with a stale kvno.  It causes webhdfs to fail in a non-user friendly manner by masking the real error from the user.
