[KIP 511](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-511%3A+Collect+and+Expose+Client%27s+Name+and+Version+in+the+Brokers) introduced a [ClientInformation](https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/99b9b3e84f4e98c3f07714e1de6a139a004cbc5b/clients/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/common/network/ClientInformation.java) class that wraps software (client) name and version and is also set as a property on [RequestContext](https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/99b9b3e84f4e98c3f07714e1de6a139a004cbc5b/clients/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/common/requests/RequestContext.java), except unfortunately there's no getter to retrieve this information. The [KIP](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-511%3A+Collect+and+Expose+Client%27s+Name+and+Version+in+the+Brokers) implemented protocol support, a registry to set it at the network layer per session and integrated with [RequestContext](https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/d35283f011a797902fc9c4d896a1a6f039eb7d06/clients/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/server/authorizer/Authorizer.java#L101), but unfortunately the only "public API" for this information is the broker request logs. This change exposes client information to custom authorisers as well via `RequestConext`, where it can be programatically used in a pluggable fashion as well. ### Committer Checklist (excluded from commit message) - [ ] Verify design and implementation - [ ] Verify test coverage and CI build status - [ ] Verify documentation (including upgrade notes) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
