NoSQL doesn't mean no security.  A production database engine has to
protect its data.  The trick is to make the auth framework fast enough
that it doesn't adversely affect performance and robust enough that an
application requesting data doesn't have to jump through hoops to get
it.

How about we make authentication optional, and have the protocol
being stateful only if you want to authenticate?

That way we don't break backwards compatibility or introduce extra
complexity for people who don't need it.
