For instance, there may be security best practices and policies in place that require such things to never be stored in clear text, for example. Enterprise deployments may be required to use a preferred solution for managing credentials and we need a way to plug in integrations for them. ##### General Usage Pattern @@ -48,46 +50,46 @@ There are numerous places within the Hadoop project and ecosystem that can lever 3.
