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

> It would be nice if there were a way to specify multiple delegation token 
> files via the HADOOP_TOKEN_FILE_LOCATION environment variable and the 
> "mapreduce.job.credentials.binary" configuration value. I suggest a 
> colon-separated list of paths, each of which is read as a separate delegation 
> token file.
