> Key: KAFKA-6561
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6561
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0
> Reporter: Sönke Liebau
> Assignee: Sönke Liebau
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently the visibility of the
> [aclMatch|https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/core/src/main/scala/kafka/security/auth/SimpleAclAuthorizer.scala#L146]
> function in the SimpleAclAuthorizer class is set to private, thus
> prohibiting subclasses from overriding this method. I think this was
> originally done as this function is not supposed to be part of the public Api
> of this class, which makes sense.
> However when creating a custom authorizer this would be a very useful method
> to override, as it allows to reuse a large amount of boilerplate code around
> loading and applying ACLs and simply changing the way that ACLs are matched.
> Could we change the visibility of this method to protected, thus still
> keeping it out of the public interface but allowing for subclasses to
> override it?
