Configuring the HBase Client TGT Renewal Period

An HBase client user must also have a Kerberos principal which typically has a password that only the user knows. You should configure the maxrenewlife setting for the client's principal to a value that allows the user enough time to finish HBase client processes before the ticket granting ticket (TGT) expires. For example, if the HBase client processes require up to four days to complete, you should create the user's principal and configure the maxrenewlife setting by using this command:

kadmin: addprinc -maxrenewlife 4days
