             Summary: WAL should not be encrypted
                 Key: SPARK-19520
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-19520
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: DStreams
    Affects Versions: 2.1.0
            Reporter: Marcelo Vanzin


If I/O encryption is enabled in Spark (SPARK-5682), the write ahead logs 
written by streaming applications will also be encrypted.

That creates issues because only the driver that wrote those files knows the 
key to decrypt them. So basically the WAL is unusuable in that scenario.

Instead, the WAL should not be encrypted by Spark; if the user has a need to 
encrypt that data, other means (such as HDFS encryption zones) should be used 
instead.
