Hi Manikumar,

You mentioned using Keycloak for integration tests. Everything I'm seeing 
online suggests that this is best done via Testcontainers. I don't see usage of 
that anywhere in the project thus far. Would adding a test dependency on 
Testcontainers be within the scope of this KIP, or should it have its own KIP?

Thanks,
Kirk
