> @mik-laj Thanks for sharing the info. `Variable` via `SecretBackend` can only read values and I don't think we should extend `SecretBackend` to support write due to security concerns. I agree with that. > Therefore, I think allowing people to provide custom `Variable` implementation that support read/write should fit in this use case. In general, I like the idea. However, my main concern is that with both variable and secret backends give users two ways of reading variables but only one to write them. I can imagine that: a) users will ask which one they should use for reading b) users will mix both approaches and will be confused by writing variable by VariableBackend and reading it by SecretBackend ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
