             Summary: Get  EncryptionKey from NN only if data transfer 
encryption is required
                 Key: HDFS-6201
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6201
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: security
            Reporter: Benoy Antony
            Assignee: Benoy Antony


HDFS-5910 allowed data transfer encryption to be decided by custom logic based 
on the Ip address of client and datanode. This is on top of the 
_dfs.encrypt.data.transfer_ flag. 

There are some invocations where encryptionkey is fetched first and the 
datanode is identified later. In these cases, encryptionkey is fetched after 
invoking the custom logic without the ip address of the datanode. This might 
result in fetching fetching encryptionkey when it is not required and vice 
versa. 

To correct this, a refactoring is required so that encryptionkey is fetched 
only when it is required.

For the usage in getDataEncryptionKey(), we can refactor to pass a functor as 
the encryption key to e.g. getFileChecksum. However I am okay with doing the 
refactoring in a separate change. We can leave the parameter-less overload of 
isTrusted for now and just use it fromgetEcnryptionKey and file a separate Jira 
to fix it.
