--------------------------------
Summary: Implement a "session" concept in the socket server
Key: KAFKA-1683
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1683
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Sub-task
Affects Versions: 0.9.0
Reporter: Jay Kreps
To implement authentication we need a way to keep track of some things between
requests. The initial use for this would be remembering the authenticated
user/principle info, but likely more uses would come up (for example we will
also need to remember whether and which encryption or integrity measures are in
place on the socket so we can wrap and unwrap writes and reads).
I was thinking we could just add a Session object that might have a user field.
The session object would need to get added to RequestChannel.Request so it is
passed down to the API layer with each request.
