----------------------------------------------------------------
h4.Design
_FileSignerSecretProvider_ will provide the secret based on the contents of the
file.
h5.At Init
Read the secret from the file
h5. update
Use _WatcherService_ to identify the file change , loads the new secret and
starts using the new secret.
h5. Options:
Effective time in milliseconds : time at which the secret will be used to sign
and verify , defaults to 0, which means immediately
Transition period in seconds : during which old secret is valid, defaults to 0.
h5.Property file format
secret=secret
effectivetimeinmillis=0
transitionperiodinmillis=0
If the file doesn't contain the secret property , the entire file content is
read as secret. effectivetimeinmillis and transitionperiodinmillis will be set
to default values(0).

>
> The _AuthenticationFilter_ uses the secret read from a file specified via
> hadoop.http.authentication.signature.secret.file to sign the cookie
> containing user authentication information.
> The secret is read only during initialization and hence needs a restart to
> update the secret.
> ZKSignerSecretProvider can be used to rotate the secrets without restarting
> the servers, but it needs a zookeeper setup.
> The jira is to refresh secret by updating the file.
