Xiaoyu Yao commented on HADOOP-13040:
-------------------------------------

Thanks [~aw]! This seems like a limitation of the 
org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration class. It requires the configuration key 
in either core-site.xml or hdfs-site.xml before the system property passed via 
HADOOP_NAMENODE_OPTS can be honored. That's why the work around works. 
Otherwise, the default will be returned for Configuration#get() as show below.  
Here is my test with only {{export 
HADOOP_NAMENODE_OPTS="-Dhadoop.security.group.mapping.ldap.bind.password.file=CUSTOMERFILELOCATION"
 }}

{code}
6/04/20 16:58:20 INFO namenode.NameNode: 
hadoop.security.group.mapping.ldap.bind.password.file (from Configuration#get) 
= Default.bind.password.file
16/04/20 16:58:20 INFO namenode.NameNode: 
hadoop.security.group.mapping.ldap.bind.password.file (from System#getProperty) 
= CUSTOMERFILELOCATION
{code}

> HADOOP_NAMENODE_OPTS does not pass -DconfigKey=Value to namenode as parameter

> We want to hide the ldap bind password file path from core-site.xml by 
> setting the following in hadoop-env.sh only.
> export HADOOP_NAMENODE_OPTS=$HADOOP_NAMENODE_OPTS 
> -Dhadoop.security.group.mapping.ldap.bind.password.file 
> =BIND_PASSWORD_FILE_PATH
> However, it does not work as expected and the BIND_PASSWORD_FILE_PATH is not 
> honored with existing hadoop_add_param call from 
> hadoop-config.sh/hadoop-function.sh.
