             Summary: Detail Informations of KMS High Avalibale
                 Key: HADOOP-13303
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-13303
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: ha, kms
    Affects Versions: 2.7.2
            Reporter: qiushi fan


I have some confusions of kms HA recently. 

1. we can set up multiple KMS instances  behind a load balancer. Among all these kms instances, there is only one master kms, others are slave kms. The master kms can handle Key create/store/rollover/delete operations by directly contacting with JCE keystore file. The slave kms can handle  Key create/store/rollover/delete operations by delegating it to the master kms.

so although we set up multiple kms, there is only one  JCE keystore file, and only the master kms can access to this file.   Both the JCE keystore file and the master kms don't have a backup. If one of them died, there is no way to avoid losing data.

Is all of the above true? KMS doesn't have a solution to handle the failure of master kms and  JCE keystore file?

2. I heard another way to achieve kms HA: make use of LoadBalancingKMSClientProvider. But  I can't find detail informations of LoadBalancingKMSClientProvider.  So why the  LoadBalancingKMSClientProvider can achieve kms HA?
