Hi Arrow-Dev, I've written up a proposal to make some enhancements to the authentication process. I've captured the overall goals on JIRA here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-9804
The proposal itself is in this Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TutHf9ttw3rLzBvYxJXP2q6fZHYmROu-gyKfniOntQY/edit# The goals are primarily to decouple authentication from the handshake process and integrate more easily with HTTP authentication mechanisms such as OAuth 2.0. There are suggestions to add some simple session-related communication (session properties, server capabilities) as part of the proposal. I've written a POC of the proposed changes here for authentication only (not the handshake): https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/7994 Thanks! -- *James Duong* Lead Software Developer Bit Quill Technologies Inc.
