Some issues!

[Sugandha Naolekar <su...@gmail.com>]

I want to encrypt the data that would be placed in HDFS. So I will have to
use some kind of encryption algorithms, right?
Also, This encryption is to be done on data before placing it in HDFS. How
this can be done? Any special API's available in HADOOP for the above
purpose?

I am very sorry for the inconvenience caused. From next time, will take care
of the questions to be asked in a precise manner.

1. Can I point you to the "how to ask questions" article, which 
emphasises the value in having meaningful titles
http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

2. no encryption layers in Hadoop -not much of any security, in fact. 
javax.crypto is what you have to play with
