Eric Yang commented on HADOOP-16214:
------------------------------------

See the attached screenshot for add service principal for freeIPA.  It does not 
allow to add more components to service principal.  In addition, service 
principal doesn't need secrets rotated as frequently as user principal in 
FreeIPA.  User principal are forced to rotate when user password policy 
expires.  By allowing multiple components principal to work as service 
principal, it will work, but not as good user experience because service can't 
run longer than user password policy expiration.

> than two components

> org.apache.hadoop.security.authentication.util.KerberosName is in charge of

> services requiring authentication.
> Although the Kerberos spec 
> ([https://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-1.5/krb5-1.5.4/doc/krb5-user/What-is-a-Kerberos-Principal_003f.html])
>  allows for an arbitrary number of components in the principal, the Hadoop 
> implementation will throw a "Malformed Kerberos name:" error if the principal 
> has more than two components (because the regex can only read serviceName and 
> hostName).
