Lars Francke commented on HADOOP-15687:
---------------------------------------
Sure, sorry.
Use case: Oozie runs a job for me and retrieves all the necessary Delegation
Tokens. Those are put in a Hadoop Token File. Now I need to get the Delegation
token in Python to access HDFS via WebHDFS. For this I need to parse the Hadoop
Token File and get the proper token.
I found the `org.apache.hadoop.security.Credentials` class that allows me to
access this data. I've just pushed a small project to Github to demonstrate:
[https://github.com/opencore/hadoop-token-file-utils/blob/master/src/main/java/com/opencore/DelegationTokenReader.java]
Here I can iterate over all tokens and get one by Kind as well. I can also get
one by Alias
([https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r3.1.0/api/org/apache/hadoop/security/Credentials.html#getToken-org.apache.hadoop.io.Text-)].
If I don't know the alias though the Credentials class does not have an API to
list all aliases or to get the full map of alias -> token. And that's what I'd
like to add.
Hope that makes more sense?
As far as I know (but I might be mistaken) there is no other easy way to parse
the Token File.

> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 3.1.0
> Reporter: Lars Francke
> Priority: Trivial
>
> The credentials class can read token files from disk which are keyed by an
> alias. It also allows to retrieve tokens by alias and it also allows to list
> all tokens.
> It does not - however - allow to get the full map of all tokens including the
> aliases (or at least a list of all aliases).
