You must specify <<<HADOOP_SECURE_DN_USER>>> and <<<JSVC_HOME>>>
as environment variables on start up (in hadoop-env.sh).
As of version 2.6.0, SASL can be used to authenticate the data transfer
protocol. In this configuration, it is no longer required for secured clusters
to start the DataNode as root using jsvc and bind to privileged ports. To
enable SASL on data transfer protocol, set <<<dfs.data.transfer.protection>>>
in hdfs-site.xml, set a non-privileged port for <<<dfs.datanode.address>>>, set
<<<dfs.http.policy>>> to <HTTPS_ONLY> and make sure the
<<<HADOOP_SECURE_DN_USER>>> environment variable is not defined. Note that it
is not possible to use SASL on data transfer protocol if
<<<dfs.datanode.address>>> is set to a privileged port. This is required for
backwards-compatibility reasons.
In order to migrate an existing cluster that used root authentication to start
using SASL instead, first ensure that version 2.6.0 or later has been deployed
to all cluster nodes as well as any external applications that need to connect
to the cluster. Only versions 2.6.0 and later of the HDFS client can connect
to a DataNode that uses SASL for authentication of data transfer protocol, so
it is vital that all callers have the correct version before migrating. After
version 2.6.0 or later has been deployed everywhere, update configuration of
any external applications to enable SASL. If an HDFS client is enabled for
SASL, then it can connect successfully to a DataNode running with either root
authentication or SASL authentication. Changing configuration for all clients
guarantees that subsequent configuration changes on DataNodes will not disrupt
the applications. Finally, each individual DataNode can be migrated by
changing its configuration and restarting. It is acceptable to have a mix of
some DataNodes running with root authentication and some DataNodes running with
SASL authentication temporarily during this migration period, because an HDFS
client enabled for SASL can connect to both.
