   @JoshRosen I updated the docs PR to hopefully add more clarity around the 
various encryption options (and, to your request, clarified how they overlap 
with the authentication setting).

configurations...
   
   Agreed.  If we reuse the `spark.ssl.rpc` namespace as is done in the PR the 
implementation is also much easier -- but we can also make the settings 
inheritance work if we use a different namespace for it - implementation 
complexity shouldn't hinder UX IMO.
   
   >  I'm wondering if we use some long-term vision of a future end state to 
guide us here.
   
   I don't have enough context to make a call here and defer to @mridulm . I 
will say that as a random observer here who hasn't had to manage too many spark 
deployments just yet, I feel like the current encryption mechanism has a strong 
point in its favor: it's quite simple to configure just a shared secret. SSL 
requires provisioning keys and certs which is always more work.
