             Summary: Make CryptoCodec Closeable so it can be cleaned up 
proactively
                 Key: HADOOP-14524
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-14524
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Xiao Chen
            Assignee: Xiao Chen


See HADOOP-14523 for motivation. Credit to [~mi...@cloudera.com] for reporting 
initially on HADOOP-14523.

Basically, the CryptoCodec class is not a closeable, but the 
OpensslAesCtrCryptoCodec implementation of it contains a closeable member (the 
Random object). Currently it is left for {{finalize()}} to clean up, this would 
create problems if OpensslAesCtrCryptoCodec is used with OsSecureRandom, which 
could let OS run out of FDs on {{/dev/urandom}} if too many codecs created.
