Aleksey Yeschenko commented on CASSANDRA-5545:
----------------------------------------------
Can we do this without alterting IAuthenticator? Why not make SASLAuthenticator
extend IAuthenticator (and make Legacy and Password authenticators extend
SASLAuthenticator instead of IAuthenticator). And replace that null check with
instanceof?
I don't like this trend of modifying IAuthenticator with every major release.
Last time it was necessary, but this time we can avoid it.
