[jira] [Created] (HADOOP-10757) KeyProvider KeyVersion should provide the key name

Alejandro Abdelnur created HADOOP-10757:
-------------------------------------------

             Summary: KeyProvider KeyVersion should provide the key name
                 Key: HADOOP-10757
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10757
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: security
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0
            Reporter: Alejandro Abdelnur
            Assignee: Arun Suresh


Currently the {{KeyVersion}} does not provide a way to get the key name to do a reverse lookup to get the metadata of the key.

For the {{JavaKeyStoreProvider}} and the {{UserProvider}} this is not an issue because the key name is encoded in the key version name. 

This encoding of the key name in the key version name cannot be expected in all KeyProvider implementations. It is common for key management systems to use UUID to refer to specific key materials (KeyVersions in Hadoop parlance).
