[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-10750) KMSKeyProviderCache should be in hadoop-common

["Larry McCay (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10750?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14044776#comment-14044776 ] 

Larry McCay commented on HADOOP-10750:
--------------------------------------

Interesting...

I have a couple high-level comments/questions:

1. if this is a generic cache provider then it would make sense to remove the KMS part of the name and any dependencies within - if there are any.
2. I'm not sure that I can envision the typical usage pattern for it. In order for the cache to be meaningful it would have to be used across many access attempts. This means that it would need to be an instance of the cache provider (or a backend store of some sort) that lives across multiple usages. I can easily see how it can be used in a server type environment such as KMS but for general use it isn't quite as clear. Can you describe the general use that you have in mind?

> KMS has {{KMSCacheKeyProvider}}, this class should be available in hadoop-common for users of  {{KeyProvider}} instances to wrap them and avoid several, potentially expensive, key retrievals.
