Review Comment:
   Thank @lmccay  and @steveloughran  for review and suggestion. 
   
   I have a suggestion, if you all agree to it. We will not modify the 
`Configuration#getPassword()` API. This JIRA is to provide an API to retrieve 
the credentials from an external provider path, rather than the one configured 
in `hadoop.security.credential.provider.path`.
   
   Can we simply pass the credential provider path in 
`Configuration#getPasswordFromCredentialProvider()` so that the name of the API 
makes it clear that it is reading the credentials from the specified provider 
path or from the default property `hadoop.security.credential.provider.path`?
   
   ```
     /**
      * Read credential for name from provider path provided in common property
      * hadoop.security.credential.provider.path.
      */
     public char[] getPasswordFromCredentialProvider(String name)
         throws IOException {
       
     }
   
     /**
      * Read credential for name from given provider path.
      */
     public char[] getPasswordFromCredentialProvider(String name,
         String providerPath) throws IOException {
       
     }
   ```
   I plan to use `Configuration#getPasswordFromCredentialProvider(name, 
providerPath)` in JIRA HADOOP-18626 to retrieve the key in the 
[SimpleKeyProvider](https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/trunk/hadoop-tools/hadoop-azure/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/fs/azure/SimpleKeyProvider.java#L47)
 as below :
   
   ```
     public String getStorageAccountKey(String accountName, Configuration conf)
         throws KeyProviderException {
       String key = null;
       try {
         .......
         .......
         String wasbKeyProvider = conf
             .get(getStorageAccountCredentialProviderPath(accountName));
         char[] keyChars = null;
         if (wasbKeyProvider != null) {
           LOG.debug("Tying to get wasb key from configured provider path in "
               + getStorageAccountCredentialProviderPath(accountName));
           keyChars = c.getPasswordFromCredentialProvider(
               getStorageAccountKeyName(accountName), wasbKeyProvider);
         }
         .......
         .......
       return key;
     }
           
   ```

> Hadoop allows the configuration of a credential provider path through the 
> property "{*}hadoop.security.credential.provider.path{*}", and the 
> {{Configuration#getPassword()}} method retrieves the credentials from this 
> provider.
> However, using common credential provider properties for components like 
> Hive, HDFS, and MapReduce can cause issues when they want to configure 
> separate JCEKS files for credentials. For example, the value in the 
> core-site.xml property file can be overridden by the hive-site.xml property 
> file. To resolve this, all components should share a common credential 
> provider path and add all their credentials.
> Azure storage supports account-specific credentials, and thus the credential 
> provider should permit the configuration of separate JCEKS files for each 
> account, such as the property 
> "{*}fs.azure.account.credential.provider.path.<account>.blob.core.windows.net{*}".
> To accommodate this, the {{Configuration#getPassword()}} method should accept 
> a custom property for the credential provider path and retrieve its value. 
> The current default property can be overridden to achieve this.
