Any update on this? I ran into the same issue. This doesn't work: ``` nn = [Namenode('HOST', 8020, 9)] client = HAClient(nn, use_trash=True, effective_user=None, use_sasl=True) ``` while this works: ```...

@praveev @eschlon @bolkedebruin @wouterdebie Did you guys have any update on this? Please see my post above. `AutoConfigClient` worked for me and I printed out the config in `AutoConfigClient`. Then...

I think I found the cause of the problem (in my case). `__init__` in `AutoConfigClient` calls: ``` configs = HDFSConfig.get_external_config() ``` which has side effects. In `HDFSConfig.get_external_config()` which calls `read_hdfs_config()`,...

@bolkedebruin We can probably make line 12~15 [here](https://github.com/spotify/snakebite/blob/master/snakebite/config.py#L12) into instance variables. Then `read_hdfs_config()` and `read_core_config()` can return something like: ``` { namenodes: [], use_trash: True, use_sasl: True, hdfs_namenode_principal: } ```...

@bolkedebruin sounds good. @ravwojdyla @wouterdebie any thoughts on the proposal above? I'm working on a pull request.
