Vlad Gudikov commented on HIVE-17014:
-------------------------------------
Attached document with possible ways to implement this feature.
As [~lmccay] commented in [HIVE-17014]. - "we may want to consider the use of
the CredentialProvider API that will be committed soon.
See [HADOOP-10607]. This isn't mutually exclusive with the password file
approach as there are plans to fallback to existing password files in certain
components. However, the abstraction of the API is best realized through the
new Configuration.getPassword(String name) method. This will allow you to ask
for a configuration item that you know is a password and it will check for an
aliased credential based on the name through the CredentialProvider API. If the
name is not resolved into a credential from a provider then it falls back to
the config file."
Would be happy to discuss this approach with other members.
