-----------------------------------
Summary: Add methods to import/set JWT as a means of
authentication for in Kudu client API
Key: KUDU-3472
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-3472
Project: Kudu
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Alexey Serbin
As of 2023-04-21 in the master branch of the git repository, Kudu allows
clients to authenticate with servers server using [JWT|https://jwt.io/], JSON
Web Tokens. However, a missing piece is a means to allow a Kudu client
application to supply a JWT as its authentication credentials in an
application-friendly way. The way [how it's done in recently added tests in
Kudu test
scaffolding|https://github.com/apache/kudu/blob/7747a7c0149d6e8f894ad3216c54db9f27b3d372/src/kudu/integration-tests/security-itest.cc#L693-L704]
isn't the way to go if thinking about usable client API.
It's necessary to add such a means for both C++ and Java Kudu client API.
Ideally, the corresponding C++ and Java parts of the API should match and be
very similar.
