Different delegationUID for every user in JDBC connections

tomas

Hi,

is it possible in DSS 5 set up separate delegationUID ( Impala specific JDBC property) for every user? The property can be set from system variables, but I dont know how to set it to the current user's name.

Something like this: for users in DSS "abc1234", "xyz2345" I would like to use their user ID's in the jdbc property, so when user "abc1234" runs the query against Impala, the JDBC connection string will contain delegationUID=abc1234, when user "xyz2345" runs the query, DSS opens a new connection with delegationUID=xyz2345

I noticed that there is a credentials option on the connection as well, but I think it does not fit in, when the Kerberos authentication is in place and the dssuser is using impersonation.

Thanks

Hi,

In the MUS settings, you can set DSS user -> Unix user + Hadoop user mapping rules.

You cannot set Impala-specific rules, i.e. the rules you define in MUS settings apply to YARN, Hive and Impala at once.

It is a different question. The MUS is fine, the DSS runs the Hadoop, YARN jobs in the context of the user (using impersonation). But the JDBC connection is different topic I think - because I remember when there was no option to define user-specific settings on JDBC connection level - so I assume DSS was using just one pool of the (same) connections (created by same settings).

Now as there is a possibility to choose User/Global for credentials I think DSS can handle internally for every user a different pool of connection(s). So I was curious, that if it would be possible to open for every user a connection with different parameter in the URI.

It would be a good feature, I hope it will be implemented in the next versions.
