> When dealing with sensitive data, it is required to keep the data encrypted
> wherever it is stored. Common use case is to pull encrypted data out of a
> datasource and store in HDFS for analysis. The keys are stored in an external
> keystore.
> The feature adds a customizable framework to integrate different types of
> keystores, support for Java KeyStore, read keys from keystores, and transport
> keys from JobClient to Tasks.
> The feature adds PGP encryption as codec and additional utilities to perform
> encryption related steps.
> The design document is attached. It explains the requirement, design and use
> cases.
> Kindly review and comment. Collaboration is very much welcome.
> I have a tested patch for this for 1.1 and will upload it soon as an initial
> work for further refinement.
