Alejandro Abdelnur commented on HADOOP-10428:
---------------------------------------------
ok, got the char[] vs String in memory point, will update the patch to read the
password as chars and to set the array to zeros after loading the keystore.
> JavaKeyStoreProvider should accept keystore password via configuration
> falling back to ENV VAR
