Steve Loughran updated HADOOP-19869:
------------------------------------
    Description: 
While doing other cleanup, I've noticed that the default checksum algorithm and 
key length for generating secrets (block tokens, job tokens) are out of date by 
modern standards. Not broken, just weak.

Change the defaults to sha256 and 256 bits. 

Note that Sha 256 is becoming more vulnerable; not worrying about that as these 
are ephemeral secrets
