-----------------------------

             Summary: Whirr writes the AWS Secret key to the stdout. is it an 
unforeseen byproduct or intended behavior?
                 Key: WHIRR-642
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-642
             Project: Whirr
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: cli
    Affects Versions: 0.7.1
         Environment: OSX Mountain Lion
            Reporter: P Mohan
            Priority: Minor


I used Whirr to launch a CDH cluster. Towards the end the whirr output has the 
AWS secret key in plain text as shown below.

fs.s3.awsSecretAccessKey=qBqa*********************************, fs.s3.a
wsAccessKeyId=AKIA*****************, 
hadoop.rpc.socket.factory.class.default=org.apache.hadoop.net.SocksSocketFactory,
 fs.default.name=hdfs://ec2-**********.compute-1.amazonaws.c
om:8020/, fs.s3n.awsSecretAccessKey=qBqaott5*************************}}

is this intended behavior. Would it be not better to mask or not print the AWS 
Secret key to the stdin.

One gd thing i noticed is that the AWS Secret Key is not written to the 
whirr.log file. Can we not have the same behavior for the stdout as well ?
