Akira Ajisaka commented on HADOOP-17517:
----------------------------------------

I think It is intentional.
https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r3.3.0/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/CredentialProviderAPI.html#Keystore_Passwords

{quote}
Hardcoded password is the default. Essentially, when using the default password 
for all keystore-based credential stores, we are leveraging the file 
permissions to protect the credential store and the keystore password is just a 
formality of persisting the keystore.
