--------------------------------------

             Summary: Use XInclude in hadoop-azure test configuration to 
isolate Azure Storage account keys for service integration tests.
                 Key: HADOOP-12520
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12520
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: azure, test
            Reporter: Chris Nauroth
            Assignee: Chris Nauroth


The hadoop-azure tests support execution against the live Azure Storage service 
if the developer specifies the key to an Azure Storage account.  The 
configuration works by overwriting the src/test/resources/azure-test.xml file.  
This can be an error-prone process.  The azure-test.xml file is checked into 
revision control to show an example.  There is a risk that the tester could 
overwrite azure-test.xml containing the keys and then accidentally commit the 
keys to revision control.  This would leak the keys to the world for potential 
use by an attacker.  This issue proposes to use XInclude to isolate the keys 
into a separate file, ignored by git, which will never be committed to revision 
control.  This is very similar to the setup already used by hadoop-aws for 
integration testing.
