Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-2467:
----------------------------------------
ZK security in upcoming release may require some time to bake in. Another
alternative approaches could have been to store tokens in hdfs or mysql server.
Both of them are secure right now. Though, good part of your design is you have
made TokenStore abstract so there could be multiple implementations of it, if
need be.
> HA Support for Metastore Server
> --------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-2467
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2467
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Metastore, Security, Server Infrastructure
> Affects Versions: 0.8.0, 0.9.0
> Reporter: Thomas Weise
> Assignee: Thomas Weise
> Fix For: 0.9.0
>
> Attachments: HIVE-2467.patch

> We require HA deployment for metastore server for HCatalog:
> * Multiple server instances run behind VIP
> * Database provides HA
> Metastore server instances will need to be able to share any state required
> for VIP outside RDBMS. As of Hive 0.8 affected conversational state that
> needs to support VIP/HA setup is limited to current delegation tokens. Is
> this correct?
> We are planning to use ZooKeeper to share current delegation tokens and
> master keys between nodes of the VIP. ZK is already (optionally) used by Hive
> for concurrency control. Access to ZK would be limited on the network level
> or in the future, when ZooKeeper supports security, through Kerberos, similar
> to NN access.
> Currently Hive taps into Hadoop core security delegation token support
> through extension of
> org.apache.hadoop.security.token.delegation.AbstractDelegationTokenSecretManager<TokenIdent>
> A solution could amend the Hive specific extension to support:
> * Pluggable delegation token and master key store (ZooKeeper as alternative
> for in-memory AbstractDelegationTokenSecretManager)
> * Delegation token retrieval from token store when not found in memory
> (wrap/extend retrievePassword(...))
> * Cancellation of token in token store
> * Purging of expired tokens from token store
