-----------------------------------------
Assignee: (was: Allen Wittenauer)
> Increase entropy to improve cryptographic randomness on precommit Linux VMs
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-16810
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-16810
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Ahmed Hussein
> Priority: Blocker
>
> I was investigating a JUnit test (MAPREDUCE-7079
> :TestMRIntermediateDataEncryption is failing in precommit builds) that was
> consistently hanging on Linux VMs and failing Mapreduce pre-builds.
> I found that the test hangs slows or hangs indefinitely whenever Java reads
> the random file.
> I explored two different ways to get that test case to work properly on my
> local Linux VM running rel7:
> # To install "haveged" and "rng-tools" on the virtual machine running Rel7.
> Then, start rngd service {{sudo service rngd start}} . This will fix the
> problem for all the components on the image including java, native and any
> other component.
> # Change java configuration to load urandom
> {code:bash}
> sudo vim $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/java.security
> ## Change the line “securerandom.source=file:/dev/random” to read:
> securerandom.source=file:/dev/./urandom
> {code}
> The first solution is better because this will fix the problem for everything
> that requires SSL/TLS or other services that depend upon encryption.
> Since the precommit build runs on Docker, then it would be best to mount
> {{/dev/urandom}} from the host as {{/dev/random}} into the container:
> {code:java}
> docker run -v /dev/urandom:/dev/random
> {code}
> For Yetus, we need to add the mount to the {{DOCKER_EXTRAARGS}} as follows:
> {code:java}
> DOCKER_EXTRAARGS+=("-v" "/dev/urandom:/dev/random")
> {code}
> ...
