>          Components: Distributed Exec, Security
>    Affects Versions: Impala 2.5.0

> When Impala runs a query that shuffles data amongst all nodes in a Kerberos-secured cluster, every node will need to acquire a TGS for every other node. In a cluster of 100 nodes or more, this can overwhelm the KDC, and queries can exit with an error ("Could not contact KDC for realm").
> A simple workaround is to run a warm-up query until it succeeds (which can take a few minutes after cluster startup). The KDC can also be scaled (e.g. with secondary KDC nodes). 
> Impala can also consider either forcing a TGS request on start-up in a staggered fashion, or we can move to recommending SSL + client certificates for server<->server communication.
