Sean Mackrory updated HADOOP-13494:
-----------------------------------
    Attachment: HADOOP-13494.001.patch

Attaching a patch with a simple approach. It'd be nice to have some mechanism 
where modules that define config parameters (e.g. Constants.java under s3a) can 
say which ones are sensitive. But that seems a recipe for over-engineering to 
me... I think a list of patterns will be best. Any suggestions of other 
patterns that belong on the list would be welcome...

> ReconfigurableBase will log old and new configuration values, which may cause 
> sensitive parameters (most notably cloud storage keys, though there may be 
> other instances) to get included in the logs. 
> Given the currently small list of reconfigurable properties, an argument 
> could be made for simply not logging the property values at all, but this is 
> not the only instance where potentially sensitive configuration gets written 
> somewhere else in plaintext. I think a generic mechanism for redacting 
> sensitive information for textual display will be useful to some of the web 
> UIs too.
