Security: Need to be able to encrypt Hadoop socket connections
---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-2239
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2239
Project: Hadoop
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Allen Wittenauer
We need to be able to use hadoop over hostile networks, both internally and
externally to the enterpise. While authentication prevents unauthorized
access, encryption should be used to prevent such things as packet snooping
across the wire. This means that hadoop client connections, distcp, etc, would
use something such as SSL to protect the TCP/IP packets. Post-Kerberos, it
would be useful to use something similar to NFS's krb5p option.
