Larry McCay commented on HADOOP-10428:
--------------------------------------
For short lived clients like the KeyShell letting the char[] be discarded on
termination is fine for now.
There would be an issue for the clients like the KMS server keeping it around
for long periods of time.
I agree that there should be a separate jira for making the window narrower
though you could probably change to char[] now - if you like.
> JavaKeyStoreProvider should accept keystore password via configuration
> falling back to ENV VAR
