Mike Adamson commented on CASSANDRA-10852:
------------------------------------------
Good point. I've updated the branch to use a default implementation of the
method.
> Add requireAuthorization method to IAuthorizer

> Key: CASSANDRA-10852
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10852
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Mike Adamson
> Assignee: Mike Adamson
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.2
>
>
> The {{IAuthenticator}} interface has a {{requireAuthentication}} to indicate
> whether an implementation requires an explicit login. For consistency it
> would be useful for 3rd party implementers if the {{IAuthorizer}} had a
> similar method {{requireAuthorization}} that would indicate if the
> implementation required explicit authorization.
> This would mean that we could remove and explicit {{instanceof}} checks for
> {{AllowAllAuthenticator}} and {{AllowAllAuthorizer}} in the code.
