Does node-impala work on Impala with Kerberos enabled

[shuo-uber]

Hi, there,

We have a cluster of Impala daemon nodes which requires Kerberos auth. I tried to use the lib to connect to those nodes and it was not successful. Here is the stack trace,

{ Error: read ECONNRESET at exports._errnoException (util.js:1026:11) at TCP.onread (net.js:572:26) code: 'ECONNRESET', errno: 'ECONNRESET', syscall: 'read' }

The stack trace may not help much. I am not sure if it is something related to the Kerberos auth requirement. As least, I don't know how to configure this lib to use GSSAPI to authenticate against the cluster.

So my question is if this lib support GSSAPI or Kerberos for auth mech? If so, how to configure it.

Thanks, Shuo

It does not support auth mechanisms.

@ufukomer do you know some other lib that supports that or if you have a general idea on how to do it, I would like to take a shot and contribute back? Thanks a lot.

@shuo-uber did you read this? https://github.com/ufukomer/node-impala/issues/4#issuecomment-214581222 Maybe that gives you the basic idea. But I don't have any further information. If you do search, please share with me then we can improve this module.

@ufukomer thanks. I will keep you posted.

Hi @ufukomer , is there any plan or schedule on kerberos support? Thanks.

[ufukomer]

@mingzhou nope. Do you have a plan?

@ufukomer no. I'm doing some survey. I might use impyla on Python, instead of nodejs because it's fill-feature support. Thanks.
