Billie Rinaldi commented on ACCUMULO-980:
-----------------------------------------
bq. Is there some reason the WAL encryption could not use a compression codec?
Keith, could you expand on your suggestion that a compression codec could be
used for WAL streaming encryption? The encryption would be much more reusable
if we could do it all in a codec.
What do people think about the encryption codec patch attached to HADOOP-9333?
Could that be adapted for our purposes?
> 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.
