--------------------------------------
Component/s: spec
> Support of data encryption for Avro file
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-1371
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1371
> Project: Apache Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: spec
> Affects Versions: 1.8.0
> Reporter: Haifeng Chen
> Priority: Major
> Labels: Rhino
> Original Estimate: 672h
> Remaining Estimate: 672h
>
> Avro file format is widely used in Hadoop. As data security is getting more
> and more attention in Hadoop community, we propose to improve Avro file
> format to be able to handle data encryption and decryption.
> Similar to compression and decompression, encryption and decryption can be
> implemented with Codecs, a concept that already exists in Avro. However, Avro
> Codec context handling needs to be extended to support per-codec contexts,
> such as encryption keys, for encryption and decryption.
> Avro supports multiple language implementations. This is an umbrella JIRA for
> this work and the implementation work for each language will be addressed in
> sub tasks.
