About encryption

[acelyc111]

Hi,
I found tikv/rocksdb has enhanced the encryption feature than facebook/rocksdb, is there a plan to submmit the related patches to facebook/rocksdb?
I'm developing the apache/incubator-pegasus project which is using rocksdb as the storage engine, researching encryption feature.
Thanks!

Hi, we don't have the bandwidth right now to prioritize syncing with upstream. In addition, the changes surrounding encryption are mostly plugins, they don't interact with core RocksDB functionality.

You are welcome to use/cherry-pick our code if you are interested in the features we added. I have already aggregated them into one PR: #279.

@tabokie Thanks for your information, it's very helpful!

@tabokie I've implemented a RocksDB plugin according to the tikv/rocksdb encryption implementation. The main difference is the encryption key is stored at the file header instead of an external file.
