Thanks both. I can't (easily) upgrade beyond 1.7.0, but have raised a
support case with our Hadoop distribution vendor.

I'm not (yet) worried about expiration with MapReduce - for now I'll
try to keep such jobs to under 24h! Outside MR, sounds like I just
need to periodically call
UserGroupInformation.checkTGTAndReloginFromKeytab like

https://github.com/apache/accumulo/blob/master/server/base/src/main/java/org/apache/accumulo/server/security/SecurityUtil.java#L121

Or is the TGT associated with an Accumulo KerberosToken separate?

Thanks,

James
