Aleksei Ieshin updated HDFS-17964:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
Observer NameNodes fatally reject delegation tokens they have not yet tailed.   
                                                                                
              
                                                                                
                                                                                
                `DelegationTokenSecretManager.retriableRetrievePassword` and 
`FSNamesystem.verifyToken` wrap `InvalidToken` in a `RetriableException` only 
when `inTransitionToActive()`. An observer in steady state never is, so a token 
the active issued moments ago fails with 

{code:java}
InvalidToken: Token for real user: <user>, can't be found in cache      
{code}

HDFS-5322 added that guard in 2.3.0, before Observer NameNodes existed 
(HDFS-12943). Widening it to cover observers fixes both paths.

The common trigger is WebHDFS op=OPEN, the one operation with a second hop:  
The common trigger is WebHDFS op=OPEN, the one operation with a second hop: the 
NameNode redirects to a DataNode, and that DataNode validates the token against 
a NameNode chosen by its own ConfiguredFailoverProxyProvider. Nothing the 
client configures influences that choice, so in a three-NameNode HA setup with 
one observer a substantial fraction of reads land on the observer and fail with 
HTTP 403.                                                                       
                                                                                
    
                                                                                
                                                                                
                
Fix: treat an observer as possibly behind on tailing at both sites, so a failed 
lookup yields RetriableException. Callers already handle it - that is what 
HDFS-5322 relies on. No config, no new mechanism.
