Zeppelin Spark interpreter on a kerberized cluster with encrypted zones fails

avatar
Contributor

We're using HDP 2.6.0.3 with Active Directory/kerberos and using Ranger/Ranger KMS to handle encrypted zones. If we try to get data from this encrypted zone via %spark2 interpreter in Zeppelin like

%spark2.sql
select * from encrypted_datalake.artikel_ref limit 30

, we've got the following error in the spark interpreter log:

Caused by: org.apache.hadoop.security.authorize.AuthorizationException: User:zeppelin not allowed to do 'DECRYPT_EEK' on 'bi-master-key'

Maybe that's why the delecation user zeppelin has not the right to decrypt the key from the encrypted zone. But the user from my login has this right and the %jdbc interpreter that is using hive as delegation user has this access and I can query data from this zone like

%jdbc(hive)
select * from encrypted_datalake.artikel_ref limit 10

without any errors. How can switch the zeppelin user to a kerberized user?

By design, zeppelin's spark and spark2 interpreters would always execute your query as 'zeppelin' user and they dont support user impersonation. Hence it is bound to fail if 'zeppelin' user doesn't have the permissions to decrypt the key.

jdbc, livy and livy2 interpreters support user impersonation and so your scenario would pass with any of these : %livy.sql, %livy2.sql and %jdbc(hive)

Ok, I see. But why the livy and livy2 interpreter are not installed in HDP 2.6.0.3 per default? I can't find a installation routine for both interpreters.

@Ramon Wartala

I would suggest to check if Livy and Livy2 are present under Spark and Spark2 services respectively . If Livy and Livy2 servers are not installed on the cluster, then corresponding interpreters wont be present in Zeppelin

check this out : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-19919

@Kshitij Badani, you're right. I restart the Livy2 server and remove the Zeppelin service from Ambari and clean all config files on the host location and reinstall the Zeppelin service. After that, the Livy2 interpreter was available. But now, I've got an error if I try to connect with it. The zeppelin-interpreter-livy2-livy-zeppelin...log shows me the following error:

ERROR [2017-06-29 18:54:04,427] ({pool-2-thread-7} BaseLivyInterprereter.java[callRestAPI]:416) - Error with 401 StatusCode:

User r00138 is my kerberos user. Should I need to set zeppelin.livy.principal oder zeppelin.livy.keytab with the zeppelin proxysuser? Actually the user and the keytab is empty in my configuration. Or should I setup my user credentials under 'Credentials'?

I modify all properties as in this article and I checked every property twice but I've still got

javax.security.auth.login.LoginException: Unable to obtain password from user

inside Zeppelin. And

@Ramon Wartala Please paste screenshot of livy2 interpreter configs and also full /etc/livy2/conf/livy.conf file from your livy2 server host

@Ramon Wartala Please attach screenshot of livy2 interpreter config as well. Also, Likewise in this article, https://discuss.pivotal.io/hc/en-us/articles/201914097-Hadoop-daemons-in-a-secured-cluster-fails-to-...

are you seeing any statement like this in your zeppelin logs?

java.io.IOException: Login failure for hdfs/dev6ha@SATURN.LOCAL from keytab /etc/security/phd/keytab/hdfs.service.keytab
