[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-10646) KeyProvider buildVersionName method should be moved to a utils class

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10646?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14026666#comment-14026666 ] 

Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-10646:
----------------------------------------

It is a *feature* to have understandable key version names. The job tracker used to create unique identifiers for job ids and task ids too, but we fixed it to use patterns. As a result you can actually understand what is happening.

Do not disable the feature.

> The buildVersionName() method should not be part of the KeyProvider public API because keyversions could be opaque (not built based on the keyname and key generation counter).
> KeyProvider implementations may choose to use buildVersionName() for reasons such as described in HADOOP-10611.
