Yongjun Zhang commented on HADOOP-14104:
----------------------------------------

Thanks for the update [~rushabh.shah],  sorry about that, but please be assured 
that I did not mean to intrude, my sincere apology if you felt so. 

I should have given some background, I was looking into HDFS-9868 earlier 
because we need a solution very soon to let distcp to be able to see the 
keyProvider of the remote cluster, then we found that HADOOP-14104 may be a 
better solution. As far as I know, the existing "providing key provider path 
via conf " implementation doesn't support external cluster, we could do an 
implementation to extend the conf support for external cluster for keyprovider, 
as an alternative solution for HADOOP-14104. 

Will comment on your other points soon.

> According to current implementation of kms provider in client conf, there can 
> only be one kms.
> In multi-cluster environment, if a client is reading encrypted data from 
> multiple clusters it will only get kms token for local cluster.
> Not sure whether the target version is correct or not.
