Description

Using Thrift Sources/Sinks in Kerberos environment, the Flume agents
only work with principle in format "name/[e-mail]".
If using other valid principle in the format "[e-mail]" it will hit ERROR of "GSS initiate failed".

Here's the configuration file:
g1.sources.source1.type = spooldir
g1.sources.source1.spoolDir = /test
g1.sources.source1.fileHeader = false
g1.sinks.sink1.type = thrift
g1.sinks.sink1.hostname = localhost
g1.sinks.sink1.port = 55555
g1.channels.channel1.type = memory
g1.channels.channel1.capacity = 1000
g1.channels.channel1.transactionCapacity = 100
g1.sources.source1.channels = channel1
g1.sinks.sink1.channel = channel1
g2.sources = source2
g2.sinks = sink2
g2.channels = channel2
g2.sources.source2.type = thrift
g2.sources.source2.bind = localhost
g2.sources.source2.port = 55555
g2.sinks.sink2.type = hdfs
g2.sinks.sink2.hdfs.path = /tmp
g2.sinks.sink2.hdfs.filePrefix = thriftData
g2.sinks.sink2.hdfs.writeFormat = Text
g2.sinks.sink2.hdfs.fileType = DataStream
g2.channels.channel2.type = memory
g2.channels.channel2.capacity = 1000
g2.channels.channel2.transactionCapacity = 100
g2.sources.source2.channels = channel2
g2.sinks.sink2.channel = channel2
g1.sinks.sink1.kerberos = true
g1.sinks.sink1.client-principal = flume/[e-mail]
g1.sinks.sink1.client-keytab
= /etc/security/keytabs/flume-1563.server.keytab
g1.sinks.sink1.server-principal = flume/[e-mail]
g2.sources.source2.kerberos = true
g2.sources.source2.agent-principal = flume/[e-mail]
g2.sources.source2.agent-keytab
= /etc/security/keytabs/flume-1563.server.keytab

If using other valid principle like "[e-mail]" as below, will hit error:

g1.sinks.sink1.kerberos = true
g1.sinks.sink1.client-principal = [e-mail]
g1.sinks.sink1.client-keytab = /home/test/test.keytab
g1.sinks.sink1.server-principal = [e-mail]
g2.sources.source2.kerberos = true
g2.sources.source2.agent-principal = [e-mail]
g2.sources.source2.agent-keytab = /home/test/test.keytab
