Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-5545:
---------------------------------------------
bq. Why not make SASLAuthenticator extend IAuthenticator
The problem is that SASLAuthenticator is intrinsically stateful, i.e. we need a
new for each new authentication. And IAuthenticator has methods like setup()
that somewhat suggest there is just one IAuthenticator.
