Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-14350:
-----------------------------------------

OK, I understand. 

# spark should be setting the absolute path
# hadoop should handle relative paths anyway.

Actually, Hadoop should have a version of the login command which takes a 
{{File}} object and so remove the ambiguity. But that'd take a while to get 
code downstream to switch to, even if we do it in Hadoop itself.

If you attach the spark stack, we can create a JIRA there and link it, so I'll 
see about fixing it there while we do some absolution in Hadoop. Spark's 
releasing faster, so this could maybe get to a 2.2.x release before long

>                 Key: HADOOP-14350
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-14350
>             Project: Hadoop Common
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: common, security
>    Affects Versions: 2.7.3
>         Environment: IBM JDK
>            Reporter: Wen Yuan Chen
>
> For the sample code below:
> {code}
> public class TestKrb {
>   public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
>     String user = args[0], path = args[1];
>     UserGroupInformation ugi = 
> UserGroupInformation.loginUserFromKeytabAndReturnUGI(user, path);
>     System.out.println("Login successfully");
>   }
> }
> {code}
> When I use IBM JDK and pass a relative path for the Kerberos keytab, it will 
> throw error messages.  According to the debug log, it always tries to read 
> the keytab from the root path.  See the debug logs below:
> In above log, the useKeytab=<value> entry is showing a <value> prefaced by a 
> leading "//".  It appears that HADOOP is adjusting the user supplied keytab 
> file and most likely prefacing it with something like "FILE://", which would 
> cause the resulting IBM normalized value to then be prefaced by "//" before 
> the user supplied keytab file.  This is the cause for why relative paths used 
> with HADOOP are not working with IBM JVM's.
