Thomas Scott created OOZIE-2823: ----------------------------------- Summary: hadoop.security.credstore.java-keystore-provider.password-file is ignored by Oozie Sqoop actions when using the password-alias option with a passworded keystore. Key: OOZIE-2823 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-2823 Project: Oozie Issue Type: Improvement Components: action Reporter: Thomas Scott Priority: Minor
The --password-alias option in Sqoop allows you to retrieve the password for a connection from a keystore. As per https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r3.0.0-alpha1/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/CredentialProviderAPI.html this keystore can also have a password and this can be stored in a file using the hadoop.security.credstore.java-keystore-provider.password-file option Oozie doesn't currently seem to support this and instead we use the workaround: <property> <name>oozie.launcher.mapred.map.child.env</name> <value>HADOOP_CREDSTORE_PASSWORD=`cat some_password_file`</value> </property> Oozie Sqoop actions should support the neater hadoop.security.credstore.java-keystore-provider.password-file method. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
