jceks

In the data ingestion stage into Hadoop from RBDMS sources, it often requires password to hit source tables in RDBMS databases. Passing hard password directly is highly unsafe and bad practice in real time applications. So, password can be encrypted by creating JCEKS file. JCEKS is basically a keystore file saved in the Java Cryptography Extension KeyStore (JCEKS) format; used as an alternative keystore to the Java Keystore (JKS) format for the Java platform; stores encoded keys. When working on Spark application which deals with RDBMS sources JCEKS need to be decrypted to query the source tables. Below is the handy function to retrieve password from JCEKS file- Using PySpark Using Scala
