@rajinisivaram I reorganized `SaslClientAuthenticator` and `SaslServerAuthenticator` to make it much easier to tell by inspection that authentication is unaffected by the re-authentication code. I am unable to reproduce the `AuthenticationException` problem we were seeing the other day -- the issue has not reappeared across several builds. The reorganized code and a successful system test should give us high confidence that authentication is unaffected and the issue is likely something that happens rarely -- maybe due to some kind of race condition that is possible only during specific re-authentication states. That's conjecture on my part, but I don't know what else I can do if the issue doesn't reappear. I spent the entire day staring at the code and reorganizing it, and nothing jumped out at me.
Please review the latest code and let me know your thoughts on how you wish to proceed with respect to potentially merging this to trunk. [ Full content available at: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/5582 ] This message was relayed via gitbox.apache.org for devnull@infra.apache.org
