Description

We have a 2.2.0 (Cloudera 5.3) cluster running on CentOS6 that is Kerberos-enabled and uses an external AD domain controller for the KDC. We are able to authenticate, browse HDFS, etc. However, YARN fails during localization because it seems to get confused by the presence of a \ character in the local user name.

Our AD authentication on the nodes goes through sssd and set configured to map AD users onto the form domain\username. For example, our test user has a Kerberos principal of [e-mail] and that maps onto a CentOS user "domain\hadoopuser". We have no problem validating that user with PAM, logging in as that user, su-ing to that user, etc.

However, when we attempt to run a YARN application master, the localization step fails when setting up the local cache directory for the AM. The error that comes out of the RM logs:
2015-04-17 12:47:09 INFO net.redpoint.yarnapp.Client[0]: monitorApplication: ApplicationReport: appId=1, state=FAILED, progress=0.0, finalStatus=FAILED, diagnostics='Application application_1429295486450_0001 failed 1 times due to AM Container for appattempt_1429295486450_0001_000001 exited with exitCode: -1000 due to: Application application_1429295486450_0001 initialization failed (exitCode=255) with output: main : command provided 0

.Failing this attempt.. Failing the application.'

However, when we look on the node launching the AM, we see this:
[root@rpb-cdh-kerb-2 ~]# cd /data/yarn/nm/usercache
[root@rpb-cdh-kerb-2 usercache]# ls -l
drwxr-s--- 4 DOMAIN\hadoopuser yarn 4096 Apr 17 12:10 domain\hadoopuser

There appears to be different treatment of the \ character in different places. Something creates the directory as "domain\hadoopuser" but something else later attempts to use it as "domain%5Chadoopuser". I’m not sure where or why the URL escapement converts the \ to %5C or why this is not consistent.

I should also mention, for the sake of completeness, our auth_to_local rule is set up to map [e-mail] to domain\user:
RULE:[1:$1@$0](^{.@DOMAIN\.COM$)s/}(.)@DOMAIN\.COM$/domain
$1/g
