Alejandro Abdelnur commented on HDFS-6134:
------------------------------------------
[~sanjay.radia],
Can you be a bit more specific on HAR breaking?
Regarding distcp, you want to support both modes: raw copies, without d/e for
admins running distcp. Regular copies, with e/d to copy data in/out or an
encryption zone, or to another encryption zone; and this within or across
clusters.
> Transparent data at rest encryption

> Key: HDFS-6134
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6134
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: security
> Affects Versions: 2.3.0
> Reporter: Alejandro Abdelnur
> Assignee: Alejandro Abdelnur
> Attachments: HDFSDataatRestEncryptionProposal_obsolete.pdf,

> Because of privacy and security regulations, for many industries, sensitive
> data at rest must be in encrypted form. For example: the healthÂcare industry
> (HIPAA regulations), the card payment industry (PCI DSS regulations) or the
> US government (FISMA regulations).
> This JIRA aims to provide a mechanism to encrypt HDFS data at rest that can
> be used transparently by any application accessing HDFS via Hadoop Filesystem
> Java API, Hadoop libhdfs C library, or WebHDFS REST API.
> The resulting implementation should be able to be used in compliance with
> different regulation requirements.
