kerberos principals per node necessary?

i
s it necessary to create a kerberos principal for hdfs on every node, as
in hdfs/some-host@SOME-REALM?
why not use one principal hdfs@SOME-REALM? that way i could distribute the
same keytab file to all nodes which makes things a lot easier.
thanks! koert

Its a bad idea, Koert.
When multiple nodes are using the same principal (in this case all the
datanodes ) ,  it will result in server assuming that its a replay attack
and result in denial of service.

For helping manage this, Hadoop lets you specify principles of the format hdfs/_HOST@SOME-REALM. Here _HOST is a special string that Hadoop interprets and replaces it with the local hostname. You need to create principles per host though.
