I think that maybe it’s possible to use Avro RPCPlugins to inject authentication data during the Avro handshake.
Thanks for your help Mike.

It would need some work at the Avro level, though. There is also the possibility of doing the same thing on top of Thrift, in which case it would require a brand new source/sink/client implementation but it wouldn't require any protocol work AFAICT.

I believe that currently there’s no easy way to set up any kind of authentication between Avro Sources, Sinks, and RpcClients. I would like to ask what would be the best way to extend Flume to support authentication? Would it be enough to extend or rewrite Avro Source, Sink and RpcClient? Does Avro or Netty support authentication? We’d prefer using Kerberos or maybe SPNEGO, but I’m not sure what options do we have.
