-----------------------------------
Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
> ReconfigurableBase can log sensitive information
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-13494
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-13494
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Sean Mackrory
> Assignee: Sean Mackrory
> Attachments: HADOOP-13494.001.patch
>
>
> ReconfigurableBase will log old and new configuration values, which may cause
> sensitive parameters (most notably cloud storage keys, though there may be
> other instances) to get included in the logs.
> Given the currently small list of reconfigurable properties, an argument
> could be made for simply not logging the property values at all, but this is
> not the only instance where potentially sensitive configuration gets written
> somewhere else in plaintext. I think a generic mechanism for redacting
> sensitive information for textual display will be useful to some of the web
> UIs too.
