Hi Ismael,

Thanks for reviewing the KIP. I've made a first pass at updating based on your 
feedback.

Questions/comments inline...

Changed to sasl.login.retry.backoff.ms and sasl.login.retry.backoff.max.ms and 
changed the former to 100 ms.

Removed this option and now we just retry up to sasl.login.retry.backoff.max.ms.

This is specifically for the setReadTimeout on java.net.URLConnection when 
making the call to the OAuth/OIDC provider to retrieve the token. So it is SASL 
specific because reading the response from the external OAuth/OIDC provider 
(likely over WAN) may require a longer timeout.

This is for the setConnectTimeout on java.net.URLConnection, similar to the 
above.

AFAIK, we don't have that level of control per our use of URLConnection.

I changed the name to OAuthCompatibilityTool. Can you elaborate on what 
compatibility guarantees you'd like to see listed? I may just be 
misunderstanding the request.

Thanks,
