Gwen Shapira commented on KAFKA-1695:
-------------------------------------
Agree! I do not want to change everything that uses ZKClient.
If you contact Stefan to see if we can get the ACL patch in, that will be
fantastic. I'm willing to help with the pull request if needed.
> Authenticate connection to Zookeeper
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-1695
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1695
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: security
> Reporter: Jay Kreps
> Assignee: Gwen Shapira
>
> We need to make it possible to secure the Zookeeper cluster Kafka is using.
> This would make use of the normal authentication ZooKeeper provides.
> ZooKeeper supports a variety of authentication mechanisms so we will need to
> figure out what has to be passed in to the zookeeper client.
> The intention is that when the current round of client work is done it should
> be possible to run without clients needing access to Zookeeper so all we need
> here is to make it so that only the Kafka cluster is able to read and write
> to the Kafka znodes (we shouldn't need to set any kind of acl on a per-znode
> basis).
