Github user cestella commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/incubator-metron/pull/514 That shouldn't be required as librdkafka doesn't know anything about JAAS since JAAS is a Java thing and librdkafka is decidedly not. It does ticket renewal literally by having you specify the keytab and the kinit command (the default one works). I validated that by botching the kinit command in the librdkafka config and having it scream bloody murder in the logs periodically and stop working.
