Billie Rinaldi commented on ACCUMULO-958: ----------------------------------------- Are you doing encryption before or after compression? It seems like that could be important. Presumably the data will compress better before encryption. > Support pluggable encryption in walogs > -------------------------------------- > > Key: ACCUMULO-958 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-958 > Project: Accumulo > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: logger > Reporter: John Vines > Assignee: Michael Allen > Fix For: 1.6.0 > > Attachments: ACCUMULO-958-actual-changes.patch, accumulo-958.diff, > accumulo-958-patch.diff, Improving-Crypto-Module-Interface-v1.2.pdf > > > There are some cases where users want encryption at rest for the walogs. It > should be fairly trivial to implement it in such a way to insert a > CipherOutputStream into the data path (defaulting to using a NullCipher) and > then making the Cipher pluggable to users can insert the appropriate > mechanisms for their use case. > This also means swapping in CipherInputStream and putting in a check to make > sure the Cipher type's match at read and write time. Possibly a versioning > mechanism so people can migrate Ciphers. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
