ASF GitHub Bot commented on BOOKKEEPER-959: ------------------------------------------- Github user merlimat commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/bookkeeper/pull/67 The change looks OK to me. It's much easier to get around compared to the Protobuf extension. I guess we (Yahoo) are the only current users of this framework but I prefer to break the compatibility right now and have a better solution. The only point I'd like to make sure is how to transition a running cluster from no-auth to auth enabled and back. Eg. if a client is sending auth commands, will the bookie reply OK if auth is disabled? > ClientAuthProvider and BookieAuthProvider Public API used Protobuf Shaded > classes > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: BOOKKEEPER-959 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BOOKKEEPER-959 > Project: Bookkeeper > Issue Type: Bug > Components: bookkeeper-client, bookkeeper-server > Affects Versions: 4.4.0 > Reporter: Enrico Olivelli > Assignee: Enrico Olivelli > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 4.5.0 > > > With 4.4.0 we introduced the ability to implement custom authentication > plugins. > The new interfaces ClientAuthProvider and BookieAuthProvider depend on > ExtensionRegistry, which is a shaded dependency. > As a consequence it is not possibile to implement any custom auth provider in > code outside the project, because shaded/relocated dependencies cannot be > used. > We need to break the actual interface and introduce a new way to implement > such plugins in a portable way -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
