Alejandro Abdelnur commented on HADOOP-10430:
---------------------------------------------
Use case example:
For example, you want to create a key for encrypting files under a directory in
HFDS. The label would be directory URI, thus giving a context of what/where the
key is used for.
> KeyProvider Metadata should have an optional label, there should be a method
> to retrieve the metadata from all keys
