[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-7857) Encrypt hadoop files

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7857?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13162663#comment-13162663 ] 

Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-7857:
------------------------------------------

> an easy way to get security without use kerberos

This is a bit apples and oranges.  While a codec would ensure that files can't be read without keys, it won't prevent an unauthenticated user from deleting it.
