Anubhav Dhoot commented on HDFS-7295: ------------------------------------- Referring to the detailed conversation at [YARN-941|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-941], alternate solutions such as token replacement do not offer protection to attacks that can steal tokens. > Support arbitrary max expiration times for delegation token > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-7295 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-7295 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Anubhav Dhoot > > Currently the max lifetime of HDFS delegation tokens is hardcoded to 7 days. > This is a problem for different users of HDFS such as long running YARN apps. > Users should be allowed to optionally specify max lifetime for their tokens. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
