[jira] [Updated] (HDFS-6605) Client server negotiation of cipher suite

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6605?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Andrew Wang updated HDFS-6605:
------------------------------

    Attachment: hdfs-6605.001.patch

Patch attached. Overall idea:

- Client provides an ordered list of CipherSuites that it likes, the NN chooses the highest priority one that it supports. If there are no valid CipherSuites provided, exception.
- I made the CipherSuite part of CryptoCodec, since that's how you configure which encryption algo to use right now. Since we only support one algo right now, I didn't bother adding NN-side configs for doing smarter validation.
- Added a List<CipherSuite> to the internal create() in ClientProtocol, nothing new exposed, had to mechanically update some unit tests.

> For compatibility purposes, the client and server should negotiate what cipher suite to use based on their respective capabilities. This is also a way for the server to reject old clients that do not support encryption.
