Hi, I have an MapReduce job which uses does some operation of reading from HBase tables. I have configured the cluster in Secure Mode including Secure HBase.
I am running the Job(classical MR job) from a custom client running under user "subroto". The mentioned user has valid principal in kerberos but, when the Job runs it gets the exceptions: 2012-11-14 10:55:24,486 ERROR org.apache.hadoop.security.UserGroupInformation: PriviledgedActionException as:subroto (auth:SIMPLE) cause:javax.security.sasl.SaslException: GSS initiate failed [Caused by GSSException: No valid credentials provided (Mechanism level: Failed to find any Kerberos tgt)] 2012-11-14 10:55:24,490 WARN org.apache.hadoop.ipc.SecureClient: Exception encountered while connecting to the server : javax.security.sasl.SaslException: GSS initiate failed [Caused by GSSException: No valid credentials provided (Mechanism level: Failed to find any Kerberos tgt)] 2012-11-14 10:55:24,493 FATAL org.apache.hadoop.ipc.SecureClient: SASL authentication failed.

Other jobs which don't access HBase work perfectly fine in the cluster. I am using Hadoop Version: 2.0.0 The Hbase version being used is HBase 0.92.1 Please let me know if some thing I need to check or I am missing. Cheers, Subroto Sanyal
