[jira] [Updated] (HIVE-21047) Read the HMS backend database password and truststore password during PersistenceManagerFactory initialization time

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-21047?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Morio Ramdenbourg updated HIVE-21047:
-------------------------------------
    Description: 
This was pointed out by [~vihangk1] as part of the review for [HIVE-20992|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-20992].

As part of the redaction of the _javax.jdo.option.ConnectionPassword_ and _metastore.dbaccess.ssl.truststore.password_ properties, they both use the [Hadoop Credential Provider API|https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r3.1.1/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/CredentialProviderAPI.html] to prevent the passwords from being stored in plain text.

However, these are both being read in [setConf()|https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/standalone-metastore/metastore-server/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/metastore/ObjectStore.java#L198-L247] in ObjectStore, thereby calling the expensive decrypt during every new database connection initialization despite these values almost never changing.

We should instead move these reads into the PersistenceManagerFactory [initPMF()|https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/standalone-metastore/metastore-server/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/metastore/PersistenceManagerProvider.java#L227-L273] method and cache their values so they are only read once when the HMS starts.
