Adam Fuchs commented on ACCUMULO-980:
-------------------------------------
Along with internal use of RFile, RFile is also used for bulk import. We should
support asymmetric keys that allow external processes to encrypt RFiles so that
only Accumulo processes can read them.
> support pluggable codecs for RFile

> As part of the encryption at rest story, RFile should support pluggable
> modules where it currently has hardcoded options for compression codecs. This
> is a natural place to add encryption capabilities, as the cost of encryption
> would likely not be significantly different from the cost of compression, and
> the block-level integration should maintain the same seek and scan
> performance. Given the many implementation options for both encryption and
> compression, it makes sense to have a plugin structure here.
