Owen O'Malley commented on MAPREDUCE-5025:
------------------------------------------
This is a really problematic change. In particular, making changes to each
input format seems like a very error-prone idea. I'm also not comfortable with
special casing the crypto codec in the input/output formats.
> Key Distribution and Management for supporting crypto codec in Map Reduce

> Key: MAPREDUCE-5025
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5025
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Sub-task

> This task defines the work to enable Map Reduce to utilize the Crypto Codec
> framework to support encryption and decryption of data during MapReduce Job.
> According to the some real use case and discussions from the community, for
> encryption and decryption files in Map Reduce, we have the following
> requirements:
> 1. Different stages (input, output, intermediate output) should have the
> flexibility to choose whether encrypt or not, as well as which crypto codec
> to use.
> 2. Different stages may have different scheme of providing the keys.
> 3. Different Files (for example, different input files) may have or use
> different keys.
> 4. Support a flexible way of retrieving keys for encryption or decryption.
> So this task defines and provides the framework for supporting these
> requirements as well as the implementations for common use and key retrieving
> scenarios.
> The design document of this part is included in the Hadoop Crypto Design
> attached in HADOOP-9331.
