--------------------------------
Summary: Avro file data encryption for Java
Key: AVRO-1372
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1372
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: java
Affects Versions: 1.8.0
Reporter: Jerry Chen
For Java, Avro has already support of compressions such as deflate or snappy
based on its own codec infrastructure. To support encryption, this work needs
to extend the codec infrastructure with the ability to handle codec context
such as the encryption keys. The reader and writer needs to be extended for
context handling as well. Also AES codec will be implemented as the default
encryption codec.
To keep the compatibility of the reader and writer, new constructor and methods
with codec context can be added instead of modifying the existing methods.
Although there are other ways for passing in the codec context such as using
thread local or system properties, these methods are easier to cause problems,
not direct and not self explaining at the API level.
