Larry McCay commented on HADOOP-10433:
--------------------------------------
I can see how having a .../keyversion/<version-name> is aligned with the
KeyProvider API and that it allows the version-name to be more easily
considered opaque.
I would like to point out that I think we need to have the <key-name> for the
create key API - you generally fully identify the resource that you are
creating (PUTting). Are you assuming that it is part of the body of the request?

> (from HDFS-6134 proposal)
> Hadoop KMS is the gateway, for Hadoop and Hadoop clients, to the underlying
> KMS. It provides an interface that works with existing Hadoop security
> components (authenticatication, confidentiality).
> Hadoop KMS will be implemented leveraging the work being done in HADOOP-10141
> and HADOOP-10177.
> Hadoop KMS will provide an additional implementation of the Hadoop
> KeyProvider class. This implementation will be a client-server implementation.
> The client-server protocol will be secure:
> * Kerberos HTTP SPNEGO (authentication)
> * HTTPS for transport (confidentiality and integrity)
> * Hadoop ACLs (authorization)
> The Hadoop KMS implementation will not provide additional ACL to access
> encrypted files. For sophisticated access control requirements, HDFS ACLs
> (HDFS-4685) should be used.
> Basic key administration will be supported by the Hadoop KMS via the, already
> available, Hadoop KeyShell command line tool
> There are minor changes that must be done in Hadoop KeyProvider functionality:
> The KeyProvider contract, and the existing implementations, must be
> thread-safe
> KeyProvider API should have an API to generate the key material internally
> JavaKeyStoreProvider should use, if present, a password provided via
> configuration
> KeyProvider Option and Metadata should include a label (for easier
> cross-referencing)
> To avoid overloading the underlying KeyProvider implementation, the Hadoop
> KMS will cache keys using a TTL policy.
> Scalability and High Availability of the Hadoop KMS can achieved by running
> multiple instances behind a VIP/Load-Balancer. For High Availability, the
> underlying KeyProvider implementation used by the Hadoop KMS must be High
> Available.
