> Key: ACCUMULO-2713
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2713
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.5.1
> Reporter: Michael Allen
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 1.6.0
>
> Attachments: Dont-write-instance-secret-to-RFiles.patch
>
>
> The encryption at rest feature records configuration information in order to
> encrypted RFiles and WALogs so that if the configuration changes, the files
> can be read back. The code that does this recording hovers up all the
> "instance.*" entries, and does not pick out the instance.secret as a special
> one not to write. Thus the instance secret goes into each file in the clear,
> which is non-ideal to say the least.
> Patch forthcoming.
