Description

As an administrator running many secure (kerberized) clusters, some which have peer clusters managed by other teams, I am looking for a way to run jobs which may require services running on other clusters. Particular cases where this rears itself are running something as core as a distcp between two kerberized clusters (e.g. hadoop --config /home/user292/conf/ distcp hdfs://LOCALCLUSTER/user/user292/test.out hdfs://REMOTECLUSTER/user/user292/test.out.result).

Thanks to YARN-3021, once can run for a while but if the delegation token for the remote cluster needs renewal the job will fail[1]. One can pre-configure their hdfs-site.xml loaded by the YARN RM to know of all possible HDFSes available but that requires coordination that is not always feasible, especially as a cluster's peers grow into the tens of clusters or across management teams. Ideally, one could have core systems configured this way but jobs could also specify their own handling of tokens and management when needed?

[1]: Example stack trace when the RM is unaware of a remote service:
