Andrew Purtell commented on HIVE-4227:
--------------------------------------
bq. Yes if the code is available and provides the right API.
[~owen.omalley] HADOOP-9331 proposes and provides an API, and HADOOP-9332
provides a codec implementing support for AES with optional hardware
acceleration. This seems like an ideal use case for using both. Should you have
any proposed improvements to the API please don’t hesitate to raise them on
HADOOP-9331, where they will be promptly addressed. Likewise with the AES
codec, please don’t hesitate to raise those on HADOOP-9332.

> It would be useful to support column level encryption in ORC files. Since
> each column and its associated index is stored separately, encrypting a
> column separately isn't difficult. In terms of key distribution, it would
> make sense to use an external server like the one in HADOOP-9331.
