Alejandro Abdelnur commented on HADOOP-10904:
---------------------------------------------
[~lmccay], how about following a common pattern such as...
All components that load a password (i.e. {{FileBaseKeyStoresFactory}} for SSL
stuff) would add a new property (the old one + ".ref", ie:
{{ssl.server.keystore.password.ref}}) that points to the credential ID. If the
*REF* the property is defined, it takes precedence over the old property, if
the *REF* property is not present, we print a deprecation warning and use the
old property.
> Provide Alt to Clear Text Passwords through Cred Provider API
