Al commented on KAFKA-8621:
---------------------------
I would very much welcome this change. Our application is deployed to the cloud
as a docker image. Keystore and Truststore files are NOT part of the image. We
provide the keystore and truststore (base64 encoded) as environment variables
when the image is started. The env vars are then assigned (via spring) to
variables in the program. As of now, we have (at startup) to write the values
of these variables to files so that the Kafka infrastructure can read them in
from there.
This is cumbersome. A much better solution for us would be a custom
implementation of the proposed {{KeyStoreLoader}} interface which would load
the keystore "from memory". I.e. no files at all would be needed.
