+When using pre-2.6.1 Hadoop versions and JDK 1.8 in a Kerberos environment, HBase server can fail
+and abort due to Kerberos keytab relogin error. Late version of JDK 1.7 (1.7.0_80) has the problem too.
+Refer to link:https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10786[HADOOP-10786] for additional details.
+Consider upgrading to Hadoop 2.6.1+ in this case.
