Thanks for drafting the service authorization FLIP Eron. It is a very
important feature which Flink is still lacking and hinders some people to
deploy Flink in their cluster environments.

The overall design looks really good to me. I would suggest to make a FLIP
out of it by adding it to the Flink wiki [1].

The next step would be to refine the implementation plan a little bit. In
general one could split the Flip into external and internal authentication.
The latter is less of a moving target right now, since Flink does not
support communication via the Yarn proxy yet (which is should eventually
do). But I think it would also be ok to say that we first concentrate on
subset of all deployment options (e.g. Kubernetes and Standalone). Once the
implementation plan is a bit clearer, we should create the corresponding
JIRAs and start with the implementation work.
