Client applications use SSL/TLS to connect with Kafka brokers in order to implement secured communication. The clients initiate SSL communication with Kafka brokers using the SSL Engine constructed from the ssl.* properties pointing to key store and trust store. This PR addresses couple of important enhancements related to how the key store is loaded for secured communication with Kafka brokers. **Problem :** Most of the times, the key store on the client side contains single key. But when the key store contains multiple keys, in order to avoid SSL handshake issues or authorization issues communicating with Kafka brokers, it is required to choose the right key from the key store. **Solution :** The key can be identified via key alias while constructing the SSL engine. This requires client to provide a new property ssl.keystore.alias that points to the key alias within the key store. The key manager implementation is modified to return the named key to be used for building the SSL Engine. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
