Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-10177:
----------------------------------------
My real goal is to have the default be the first non-transient provider, but
that if they explicitly set the provider we use it regardless of whether it is
transient or not. You can either use the singleton provider as a flag for the
explicit provider set or create a new flag to specify that option.
* All commands should have the same way of finding the provider.
* If there are no non-transient providers and the user didn't specify, the
command should fail.
* Doing a modify operation on a transient provider isn't very useful and should
probably generate a warning.
> 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}
