Steve Loughran created HADOOP-9457: -------------------------------------- Summary: add an SCM-ignored XML filename to keep secrets in (auth-keys.xml?) Key: HADOOP-9457 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9457 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Improvement Components: build Affects Versions: 3.0.0 Reporter: Steve Loughran Priority: Minor
to avoid accidentally checking in secrets, I keep auth keys for things like AWS in file called {{auth-keys.xml}} alongside the {{test/resources/core-site.xml}} file, then XInclude them. I also have a global gitignore set up ignore files with that name. I propose having a standard name for XML files containing such secrets (we could use auth-keys.xml or something else, and set up {{hadoop-trunk/.gitignore}} and {{svn:ignore}} to ignore them. That way, nobody else will check them in by accident -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
