Description

Spark needs to authenticate using Kerberos when accessing HDFS, Hive etc. with Kerberos enabled. Add support for mounting a keytab and Kerberos configuration and allow the CR to specify the keytab location and principal name for Spark to use.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the Spark CR definition and the existing configuration and volume-mount handling, then trace how a keytab, Kerberos configuration, and principal could be represented. Done means the CR can specify these values and Spark can use them when accessing Kerberos-protected HDFS or Hive.
