Sqoop should read and transmit passwords in a more secure manner
----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MAPREDUCE-710
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-710
Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: contrib/sqoop
Reporter: Aaron Kimball
Assignee: Aaron Kimball
Attachments: MAPREDUCE-710.patch
Sqoop's current support for passwords involves reading passwords from the
command line "--password foo", which makes the password visible to other users
via 'ps'. An invisible-console approach should be taken.
Related, Sqoop transmits passwords to mysqldump in the same fashion, which is
also insecure.
