Cody Maloney commented on MESOS-2281:
-------------------------------------
The JSON format was added as part of MESOS-1391. The original author intended
to deprecate the legacy credential format.
Original commit:
https://github.com/apache/mesos/commit/2cb3761c6bfa80b956eaafde9c69eafaeac3deae
Review:
https://reviews.apache.org/r/22222/
The JSON format should allow us to eliminate some code, as well as provide a
more robust parser to ensure people don't read / write garbage (There was
accidentally a newline or space added to the name of one principal, now all the
parsing is off by a little bit and things aren't working properly)
> Deprecate plain text Credential format.
