Description

We have configured Trino to use the auto-generated TLS certificate for internal communication and a company-provided certificate for server communication:

apiVersion: trino.stackable.tech/v1alpha1
kind: TrinoCluster
metadata:
  name: trino
spec:
  image:
    productVersion: "455"
  clusterConfig:
    listenerClass: external-unstable
    catalogLabelSelector:
      matchLabels:
        trino: trino
    tls:
      internalSecretClass: tls
      serverSecretClass: trino-worker-cert-class
# (...)

However, the serverSecretClass certificate is used for internal configuration, which causes failed connections between worker and coordinator pods.

As a workaround we overwrite the discovery url to match the servers fqdn and node port:

# (...)
    configOverrides:
      config.properties:
        # Fix for internal Trino cluster communication with custom certificate
        discovery.uri: "https://<external-node-fqdn-url>:<external-coordinator-node-port>"
# (...)

Research direction

Start by tracing how the TrinoCluster TLS fields internalSecretClass and serverSecretClass are used when generating internal communication and discovery configuration. Reproduce the worker-to-coordinator connection failure and verify that internal communication uses the auto-generated certificate while server communication uses the company-provided certificate.
