Stephen Chu commented on HADOOP-10786:
--------------------------------------
Note that the test reproduces the issue when run against JDK8 on a build
without the fix.
I then built and ran successfully with the fix for JDK 6, 7, and 8.
> Patch that fixes UGI#reloginFromKeytab on java 8

> Key: HADOOP-10786

> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug

> Krb5LoginModule changed subtly in java 8: in particular, if useKeyTab and
> storeKey are specified, then only a KeyTab object is added to the Subject's
> private credentials, whereas in java <= 7 both a KeyTab and some number of
> KerberosKey objects were added.
> The UGI constructor checks whether or not a keytab was used to login by
> looking if there are any KerberosKey objects in the Subject's private
> credentials. If there are, then isKeyTab is set to true, and otherwise it's
> set to false.
> Thus, in java 8 isKeyTab is always false given the current UGI
> implementation, which makes UGI#reloginFromKeytab fail silently.
> Attached patch will check for a KeyTab object on the Subject, instead of a
> KerberosKey object. This fixes relogins from kerberos keytabs on Oracle java
> 8, and works on Oracle java 7 as well.
