> Remove the requirement to specify the truststore location when TLS to the

> Key: HIVE-21083
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-21083
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Metastore, Standalone Metastore
> Affects Versions: 4.0.0
> Reporter: Morio Ramdenbourg
> Assignee: Morio Ramdenbourg
> Priority: Major
>
> In the current implementation,
> [ObjectStore.configureSSL|https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/standalone-metastore/metastore-server/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/metastore/ObjectStore.java#L349-L382]
> throws an exception if TLS to the database is turned on
> (_metastore.dbaccess.ssl.use.SSL_) but a truststore file location
> (_metastore.dbaccess.ssl.truststore.path_) is not specified.
> However, according to the [JSSE (Java 8)
> documentation|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/security/jsse/JSSERefGuide.html#InstallationAndCustomization],
> the Java truststore file location system property
> (_javax.net.ssl.trustStore_) defaults to using the "_jssecacerts_, if it
> exists. Otherwise, _cacerts_" files. These are the default truststores that
> come with the Java installation and contain a list of well-known certificate
> authorities.
> It was identified that one valid way of configuring TLS is by adding to these
> default files. In that case, no changes to the truststore properties are
> necessary. We should support this case by changing the following logic to
> remove the requirement for the truststore file location config property:
> {code:java}
> String trustStorePath = MetastoreConf.getVar(conf,
> ConfVars.DBACCESS_SSL_TRUSTSTORE_PATH).trim();
> if (trustStorePath.isEmpty()) {
> throw new IllegalArgumentException("SSL to the database store has
> been enabled but " +
> ConfVars.DBACCESS_SSL_TRUSTSTORE_PATH.toString() + " is empty. "
> + "Set this property to enable SSL.");
> }
> {code}
> We should also loosen the requirement on the truststore password if the user
> decides to use the Java defaults
