Jerry Chen commented on HADOOP-10141:
-------------------------------------
The same thing was already proposed and implemented in the HADOOP-9331. This
duplicates our work done.
The key management facilities such as KeyProvider were already there. We also
provided KeyStoreKeyProvider as a basic implementation for retrieving keys from
java KeyStore. If you do need any improvements, we can follow up and discuss
based on HADOOP-9331 and close this proposal as duplicate.

> Key: HADOOP-10141
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10141
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: security
> Reporter: Owen O'Malley
> Assignee: Owen O'Malley

> As with the filesystem API, we need to provide a generic mechanism to support
> multiple key storage mechanisms that are potentially from third parties.
> An additional requirement for long term data lakes is to keep multiple
> versions of each key so that keys can be rolled periodically without
> requiring the entire data set to be re-written. Rolling keys provides
> containment in the event of keys being leaked.
> Toward that end, I propose an API that is configured using a list of URLs of
> KeyProviders. The implementation will look for implementations using the
> ServiceLoader interface and thus support third party libraries.
> Two providers will be included in this patch. One using the credentials cache
> in MapReduce jobs and the other using Java KeyStores from either HDFS or
> local file system.
