-------------------------------------------


bq.1) The class DelegationTokenRenewal could be named better
It seems logical to me. If you have better suggestions please share.
bq. 2) I am having trouble understanding what you have done in 
DelegationTokenRenewal to do with resetting of timers. When the JobTracker 
first renews the token, it can check when the token is supposed to be renewed 
again, and create a corresponding TimerTask. Then cancel the TimerTask when the 
job is done. The Timer object needs to be created only once, right?
This way you will create multiple timer objects. In the current design only one 
timer object is created  - for the next expiring token.
bq. 3) You should have the cancellation of tokens based on a boolean 
configuration like "mapreduce.job.cancel.delegation.tokens".
 this is a new requirement. I will add it. I assume is the value is 'false' - 
we don't cancel any tokens for the job? (not registering them up for renewal).
bq. 4) The KIND defined in DelegationTokenRenewal should come from the 
DelegationTokenIdentifier in HDFS
it is package private. One would need to modify HDFS for it.
bq. 5) The place where the delegation tokens are registered for renewal is not 
correct. Note that the JobInProgress constructor uses a token to copy the 
jobconf file from the hdfs and by then the token for accessing the jobconf 
should have got renewed. The renewal should happen before the JobInProgress is 
constructed in submitJob.
I don't think it is critical. Tokens don't really need to be renewed 
immediately. So the token is perfectly valid at this point.
bq. 6) Also, now that we have MapReduce delegation tokens, it will be nice to 
have the class DelegationTokenRenewal not assume only hdfs delegation tokens.
Well, we talked about it - and I understood that we DON'T want to renew 
MapReduce tokens in JobTracker.
bq.7) The Timer should be cancelled when the JobTracker is stopped.
Ok. Will do.
