Plamen Jeliazkov commented on MAPREDUCE-4491:
---------------------------------------------
Great work, Benoy!
This looks like a very neat feature to add. I am all in support. I like your
similarity with the compressor / decompressor interfaces and the ease of the
implementation to plug-in any keystores.
I am in the midst of applying your patches and doing a small test locally and
will reply back with any results I find.

> 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 a 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.
> Update: The patches are uploaded to subtasks.
