[jira] [Commented] (HDFS-10899) Add functionality to re-encrypt EDEKs.

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-10899?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15631795#comment-15631795 ] 

Xiao Chen commented on HDFS-10899:
----------------------------------

Thanks Suraj for the discussions offline. Some high-level conclusion was that re-encrypt being a EEK op, is better controlled under EEK op, so sticking with generate_eek for now. Will post a WIP patch momentarily.

> Currently when an encryption zone (EZ) key is rotated, it only takes effect on new EDEKs. We should provide a way to re-encrypt EDEKs after the EZ key rotation, for improved security.
