---------------------------------------
[~benoyantony]
Hi Benoy, I am glad that you can working on this again and I was thinking about
this too. And one thing that I could think of is that the source code of the
encryption feature actually span two hadoop projects: Hadoop Common and Map
Reduce. We may need a hadoop common Jira entry to submit the framework and
codec implementations which is mostly under the package
org.apache.hadoop.io.crypto under hadoop-common; and put map reduce side things
at this jira.
Based on these two jira entries, we can further split subtasks if needed. What
do you think as to this?

> Key: MAPREDUCE-4491
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4491
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: documentation, security, task-controller, tasktracker
> Reporter: Benoy Antony
> Assignee: Benoy Antony
> Attachments: crypto_abstractions.zip, Hadoop_Encryption.pdf,
> Hadoop_Encryption.pdf

>
> When dealing with sensitive data, it is required to keep the data encrypted
> wherever it is stored. Common use case is to pull encrypted data out of a
> datasource and store in HDFS for analysis. The keys are stored in an external
> keystore.
> The feature adds a customizable framework to integrate different types of
> keystores, support for Java KeyStore, read keys from keystores, and transport
> keys from JobClient to Tasks.
> The feature adds PGP encryption as a codec and additional utilities to
> perform encryption related steps.
> The design document is attached. It explains the requirement, design and use
> cases.
> Kindly review and comment. Collaboration is very much welcome.
> I have a tested patch for this for 1.1 and will upload it soon as an initial
> work for further refinement.
> Update: The patches are uploaded to subtasks.
