HADOOP-12889 covers the changes to KDiag & UGI for this
> RM to try to auth with HDFS on startup, retry with max diagnostics on failure
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: YARN-4721
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-4721
> Project: Hadoop YARN
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: resourcemanager
> Affects Versions: 2.8.0
> Reporter: Steve Loughran

>
> If the RM can't auth with HDFS, this can first surface during job submission,
> which can cause confusion about what's wrong and whose credentials are
> playing up.
> Instead, the RM could try to talk to HDFS on launch, {{ls /}} should suffice.
> If it can't auth, it can then tell UGI to log more and retry.
> I don't know what the policy should be if the RM can't auth to HDFS at this
> point. Certainly it can't currently accept work. But should it fail fast or
> keep going in the hope that the problem is in the KDC or NN and will fix
> itself without an RM restart?
