Mike Drob created ACCUMULO-1412:
-----------------------------------
Summary: Allow shell password to come from a variety of sources
Key: ACCUMULO-1412
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1412
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: shell
Reporter: Mike Drob
Assignee: Mike Drob
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.6.0
OpenSSL allows the user to read the password from a number of places, including
a file, environment variable, file descriptor, command line argument, or
standard in. It would be nice for accumulo to do the same, to ease scripting
while still not revealing password through {{ps}} or it's brethren.
A logical way to implement this might be using a [JCommander Custom
Type|http://jcommander.org/#Custom_types] for the password field.
