Hi HBase folks, I’d like to submit a patch to add TLS encryption handler to Netty RPC client and server. This is a requirement for SASL mechs which don’t have built-in encryption support. For instance it’s a must for the JWT authentication plugin which is another project of mine for HBase.
Given that the patch changes low level stuff and I also had to make some changes in the threading logic of the client side, I need experienced HBase committers to take a closer look and make sure I’m doing the right thing. Especially from Duo Zhang, who recently committed HBASE-24506 to address a deadlock in the Netty RPC client, I’d like to ask for a close review, because I had to touch his patch and refactor some part of it. Thanks in advance. Andor
