> Support data encryption for Hive tables

> For sensitive and legally protected data such as personal information, it is
> a common practice that the data is stored encrypted in the file system. To
> enable Hive with the ability to store and query the encrypted data is very
> crucial for Hive data analysis in enterprise.
>
> When creating table, user can specify whether a table is an encrypted table
> or not by specify a property in TBLPROPERTIES. Once an encrypted table is
> created, query on the encrypted table is transparent as long as the
> corresponding key management facilities are set in the running environment of
> query. We can use hadoop crypto provided by HADOOP-9331 for underlying data
> encryption and decryption.
>
> As to key management, we would support several common key management use
> cases. First, the table key (data key) can be stored in the Hive metastore
> associated with the table in properties. The table key can be explicit
> specified or auto generated and will be encrypted with a master key. There
> are cases that the data being processed is generated by other applications,
> we need to support externally managed or imported table keys. Also, the data
> generated by Hive may be consumed by other applications in the system. We
> need to a tool or command for exporting the table key to a java keystore for
> using externally.
>
> To handle versions of Hadoop that do not have crypto support, we can avoid
> compilation problems by segregating crypto API usage into separate files
> (shims) to be included only if a flag is defined on the Ant command line
> (something like –Dcrypto=true).
