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

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10757?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Alejandro Abdelnur reopened HADOOP-10757:
-----------------------------------------


The use of UUIDs are version name  was discussed at length in HADOOP-10433. Also, if you are using KMIP, key materials are identified by a UUID. 

> KeyProvider KeyVersion should provide the key name

> 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).
