Wei-Chiu Chuang commented on HADOOP-13805:
------------------------------------------
I didn't follow up to the end when this was resolve. Is this an incompatible change? If so this deserves a release note and we need to flag it as an incompatible change.

> HADOOP-13558 intention was to avoid UGI from trying to renew the TGT when the UGI is created from an existing Subject as in that case the keytab is not 'own' by UGI but by the creator of the Subject.
> In HADOOP-13558 we introduced a new private UGI constructor {{UserGroupInformation(Subject subject, final boolean externalKeyTab)}} and we use with TRUE only when doing a {{UGI.loginUserFromSubject()}}.
> The problem is, when we call {{UGI.getCurrentUser()}}, and UGI was created via a Subject (via the {{UGI.loginUserFromSubject()}} method), we call {{new UserGroupInformation(subject)}} which will delegate to {{UserGroupInformation(Subject subject, final boolean externalKeyTab)}} and that will use externalKeyTab == *FALSE*.
> Then the UGI returned by {{UGI.getCurrentUser()}} will attempt to login using a non-existing keytab if the TGT expired.
> This problem is experienced in {{KMSClientProvider}} when used by the HDFS filesystem client accessing an an encryption zone.
