----------------------------------------
Hi [~lmccay],
thanks, finally someone cleaned up our initialize() mess ;) Possibly, some
outstanding patches will no longer merge but that's a minor inconvenience, it
needed to be done.
# My take:
** Don't think s3 is still used, the 'inode-tricks' it tries to pull-off are
guaranteed data loss :P
** s3n is still used but is planned to be deprecated once s3a is considered
fully stable: [~ste...@apache.org] has been rejecting non-critical patches to
s3n and pointing those people to s3a for a while now (recent example:
HADOOP-12353). FYI Most work on stabilizing s3a is grouped in HADOOP-11694.
HADOOP-9565 is also relevant (2x write performance).
# Good idea. Now that your patch has secured the access credentials it makes
sense to do the same for the proxy password.
