Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-10177:
----------------------------------------
Comments:
* Add tests.
* Please keep the text to 79 columns.
* allow Command.execute to throw Exception.
* Add a help command including the non-standard options like --provider.
* All of the commands should use the first non-transient provider unless there
is only one provider. (typically because the user specified --provider)
* make all of the commands throw out of execute so that the cli tool exits with
a non-zero exit code.
* the CreateCommand shouldn't create a Metadata directly, since that isn't
public API. Maybe we should change createKey so that it doesn't create any key
versions and then add a follow up call to rollNewVersion.
> Create CLI tools for managing keys via the KeyProvider API

> The KeyProvider API provides access to keys, but we need CLI tools to provide
> the ability to create and delete keys. I'd think it would look something like:
> {code}
> % hadoop key -create key1
> % hadoop key -roll key1
> % hadoop key -list key1
> % hadoop key -delete key1
> {code}
