[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-10224) JavaKeyStoreProvider has to protect against corrupting underlying store

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10224?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13868499#comment-13868499 ] 

Larry McCay commented on HADOOP-10224:
--------------------------------------

I am thinking that the flush() needs to backup the original store to a randomized name, write the contents of the store, reload and maybe list the keys to ensure that it isn't corrupt.

Once it has proven to not e corrupt we can delete the backup.

> Java keystores get corrupted at times. A key management operation that writes the store to disk could cause a corruption and all protected data would then be unaccessible.
