Hey guys, As promised, I added a tree of JIRAs for the stuff in the security wiki ( https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Security):
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1682 I tried to break it into reasonably standalone pieces. I think many of the tickets could actually be done in parallel. Since there were many people interested in this area this may help parallelize the work a bit. I added some strawman details on implementation to each ticket. We can discuss and refine further on the individual tickets. Please take a look and let me know if this breakdown seems reasonable. Cheers, -Jay
