Aaron T. Myers commented on HDFS-2617:
--------------------------------------
OK, I'm find changing the default value for the config knob to not use KSSL, as
long as we call it out with a release note that it's an incompatible change for
branch-1.
As for the name, how about "hadoop.security.use-weak-http-crypto"?
> Replaced Kerberized SSL for image transfer and fsck with SPNEGO-based solution

> The current approach to secure and authenticate nn web services is based on
> Kerberized SSL and was developed when a SPNEGO solution wasn't available. Now
> that we have one, we can get rid of the non-standard KSSL and use SPNEGO
> throughout. This will simplify setup and configuration. Also, Kerberized
> SSL is a non-standard approach with its own quirks and dark corners
> (HDFS-2386).
