Sean Busbey commented on ACCUMULO-3890:
---------------------------------------
Who the CredentialProvider is should be treated like accumulo-site.xml, sure.
But there's nothing in the CredentialProvider API that says it needs to be
stored like a file, it could just as easily be a facade in front of an RPC
mechanism.
> Use of CredentialProvider results in a lot of NN ops

> Key: ACCUMULO-3890
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3890
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.6.1, 1.6.2, 1.7.0
> Reporter: Billie Rinaldi
> Assignee: Billie Rinaldi
> Fix For: 1.7.1, 1.8.0
>
>
> Every time we access a sensitive property or iterate over a configuration
> when there is a CredentialProvider configured, it results in NN operations
> (as evidenced by FSNamesystem.audit logs). I think that we could assume the
> CredentialProvider is static, read its properties once and cache them in
> memory to avoid these unnecessary reads.
