Symptoms

When attempting to cancel an Impala query through the Cloudera Manager Web Interface, an internal error is reported and the query is not canceled.

Note: Other issues such as SSL/TLS setup can also cause this message in the web UI.

In this case, clicking cancel on the query reports:

Clicking again reports:

The cloudera-scm-server.log shows an error similar to the following immediately after attempting to cancel a query:

The keytab file and its enclosing directory listed in the error message do not exist at the time the error is generated.

After restarting the cloudera-scm-server, the keytab file is recreated, and queries can be canceled as expected. However, the issue will eventually recur. After the first recurrence, it will persist until the next cloudera-scm-server restart
