Eli Collins commented on HADOOP-6988: ------------------------------------- Being able to specify both MR and HDFS delegation token files upfront when submitting a job seems reasonable, avoids requiring all clients kinit or use a tool to merge token files. Env variable philosophy aside (Allen, want to open a jira with an alternative?) does anyone object to modifying this existing variable so more than one file can be specified? > Add support for reading multiple hadoop delegation token files > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-6988 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6988 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: security > Affects Versions: 0.22.0 > Reporter: Aaron T.

I suggest a > colon-separated list of paths, each of which is read as a separate delegation > token file. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
