-------------------------------
Summary: Secure RDBMS password in Sqoop Metastore in a encrypted
form
Key: SQOOP-2801
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-2801
Project: Sqoop
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.4.6
Reporter: Shashank
Assignee: Shashank
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.4.7
Currently Sqoop store password in the sqoop metastore in the form of plain
text.While running command,
sqoop job --show <job_name> , password becomes visible as plain text.Also
anyone can see the password in metastore db since it is visible in a plain
text.In order to provide more security, CryptoFileLoader class is extended to
store password in metastore in encrypted form.Sqoop will decrypt the password
during exec job.In case of show job , the password will be visible as encrypted
manner.User can pass any algorithm and passphrase to encrypt the password in a
similar way as it happens in case of storing password in the File.
