Reid Chan updated HBASE-20886:
------------------------------
Release Note: From 2.2.0, hbase supports client login via keytab. To use
this feature, client should specify `hbase.client.keytab.file` and
`hbase.client.keytab.principal` in hbase-site.xml, then the connection will
contain the needed credentials which be renewed periodically to communicate
with kerberized hbase cluster.

> There're lots of questions about how to connect to kerberized hbase cluster
> through hbase-client api from user-mail and slack channel.
> {{hbase.client.keytab.file}} and {{hbase.client.keytab.principal}} are
> already existed in code base, but they are only used in {{Canary}}.
> This issue is to make use of two configs to support client-side keytab based
> login, after this issue resolved, hbase-client should directly connect to
> kerberized cluster without changing any code as long as
> {{hbase.client.keytab.file}} and {{hbase.client.keytab.principal}} are
> specified.
