Unable to delete hbase znode from zookeeper CLI in a kerberized cluster : Authentication is not valid : /hbase-secure/replication

Hi Everyone,

 

I need to delete hbase znode from zokkeeper CLI but getting follwing error when I try that:

[zk: localhost:2181(CONNECTED) 1] rmr /hbase-secure

Authentication is not valid : /hbase-secure/replication

[zk: localhost:2181(CONNECTED) 2]

 

This is the ACL set:

[zk: localhost:2181(CONNECTED) 11] getAcl /hbase-secure

'world,'anyone

: r

'sasl,'hbase

: cdrwa

 

I have even tried to set the ACL as follows but it didn't help either:

[zk: localhost:2181(CONNECTED) 7] setAcl /hbase-secure world:anyone:cdrwa

Authentication is not valid : /hbase-secure

[zk: localhost:2181(CONNECTED) 8] rmr /hbase-secure

Authentication is not valid : /hbase-secure/replication

 

The Cluster is kerberized, what am I missing here? Appreciate all the help!

When we encounter Authentication is not valid error might be because the user which us trying to delete/modify the ZKnode does not have permissions to do it, please export the JVMFLAG pointing to the jaas file of Hbase {1}

For example in this case I understand we are trying to delete the hbase-secure zknode

So go to the latest hbase process dir, export the hbase jaas file and then log in into ZKCLI again and run the rmr/deleteall command to delete the ZKnode

{1} - export JVMFLAGS=“-Djava.security.auth.login.config=path/to/jaas.conf”
