Kan Zhang commented on HDFS-4056:
---------------------------------

bq. Since we aren't to the point of making client-side changes, and they won't 
impact the server, is this server-side change acceptable?

-1 (in case you are still wondering about my position after our long discussion 
between this JIRA and HADOOP-8779).

To summarize, I don't think NN's SecretManager should always be started. It 
depends on configuration. In particular, when SIMPLE + SIMPLE is configured, 
token related code should be turned off and no token related overhead incurred.
