I'd like to, in AVRO-341, define a standard, language-independent, secure RPC
transport for Avro. In Java we can then either implement this from scratch,
perhaps stealing code from ipc.Server, or we can try to implement it using a
framework. If possible, a framework would be preferred, I think. Then we can
port Hadoop's RPC to use this, building on HDFS-892. Does that sounds like a
reasonable plan?

> The authentication mechanism to use will be SASL DIGEST-MD5 (see RFC-2222 and
> RFC-2831). Since J2SE 5, Sun provides a SASL implementation by default. Both
> our delegation token and job token can be used as credentials for SASL
> DIGEST-MD5 authentication.
