> When dealing with sensitive data, it is required to keep the data encrypted wherever it is stored. Common use case is to pull encrypted data out of a datasource and store in HDFS for analysis. The keys are stored in an external keystore. 
> The feature adds a customizable framework to integrate different types of keystores, support for Java KeyStore, read keys from keystores, and transport keys from JobClient to Tasks.
> The feature adds PGP encryption as codec and additional utilities to perform encryption related steps.
> The design document is attached. It explains the requirement, design and use cases.
> Kindly review and comment. Collaboration is very much welcome.
> I have a tested patch for this for 1.1 and will upload it soon as an initial work for further refinement.
