Parth Brahmbhatt commented on KAFKA-1683:
-----------------------------------------
I did not include this as part of Authorizer work, I just applied this patch
and developed against it. The pull request for authorizer does not have this
patch, it assumes it is being reviewed in its own PR and will be merged
separately.
> Implement a "session" concept in the socket server

> To implement authentication we need a way to keep track of some things
> between requests. The initial use for this would be remembering the
> authenticated user/principle info, but likely more uses would come up (for
> example we will also need to remember whether and which encryption or
> integrity measures are in place on the socket so we can wrap and unwrap
> writes and reads).
> I was thinking we could just add a Session object that might have a user
> field. The session object would need to get added to RequestChannel.Request
> so it is passed down to the API layer with each request.
