Why it matters
This feature enables secure and authenticated access to HDFS clusters using Kerberos authentication. It solves the problem of integrating ClickHouse with Kerberos-secured Hadoop environments, thereby enhancing security and compliance when accessing data stored in HDFS.How to use it
To use Kerberos authentication with HDFS in ClickHouse, ensure your HDFS cluster is configured for Kerberos. Then configure ClickHouse's HDFS settings to use the appropriate Kerberos keytab and principal. Typically, this involves setting the relevant parameters in the ClickHouse configuration files related to HDFS connectivity and authentication.
