Daryn Sharp commented on HDFS-4457:
-----------------------------------
As an update, Aaron & Alejandro & I had an offline conversation to educate each
other on the requirements and issues with this change. The next step is
discovering how Hue is converting the {{Token}} into a {{Credentials}} for Pig.
> WebHDFS obtains/sets delegation token service hostname using wrong config
> leading to issues when NN is configured with 0.0.0.0 RPC IP

> Key: HDFS-4457
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4457
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: webhdfs
> Affects Versions: 1.1.1, 2.0.2-alpha
> Reporter: Alejandro Abdelnur
> Assignee: Alejandro Abdelnur
> Priority: Critical
> Attachments: HDFS_4457.patch, HDFS_4457.patch

> If the NameNode RPC address is configured with an wildcard IP 0.0.0.0, then
> delegationotkens are configured with 0.0.0.0 as service and this breaks
> clients trying to use those tokens.
> Looking at NamenodeWebHdfsMethods#generateDelegationToken() the problem is
> SecurityUtil.setTokenService(t, namenode.getHttpAddress());, tracing back
> what is being used to resolve getHttpAddress() the NameNodeHttpServer is
> resolving the httpAddress doing a httpAddress = new
> InetSocketAddress(bindAddress.getAddress(), httpServer.getPort());
> , and if using "0.0.0.0" in the configuration, you get 0.0.0.0 from
> bindAddress.getAddress().
> Normally (non webhdfs) this is not an issue because it is the responsibility
> of the client, but in the case of WebHDFS, WebHDFS does it before returning
> the string version of the token (it must be this way because the client may
> not be a java client at all and cannot manipulate the DelegationToken as
> such).
> The solution (thanks to Eric Sammer for helping figure this out) is for
> WebHDFS to use the exacty hostname that came in the HTTP request as the
> service to set in the delegation tokens.
