Rushabh S Shah created HDFS-13009:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Creation of Encryption zone should succeed even if 
directory is not empty.
                 Key: HDFS-13009
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-13009
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: encryption
            Reporter: Rushabh S Shah
            Assignee: Rushabh S Shah


Currently we have a restriction that creation of encryption zone can be done 
only on an empty directory.
This jira is to remove that restriction.
Motivation:
New customers who wants to start using Encryption zone can make an existing 
directory encrypted.
They will be able to read the old data as it is  and will be decrypting the 
newly written data.
Internally we have many customers asking for this feature.
Currently they have to ask for more space quota, encrypt the old data.
This will make their life much more easier.
