Ismael Juma commented on KAFKA-3475:
------------------------------------
That's a fair question. I think it's helpful to look at the code in order to
evaluate the pros/cons. As a general rule, Kafka has avoided dependencies
unless they provided a significant benefit, which is not the case for this
library. Having said that, it is a test dependency so that could also be a
factor.

> We rely on `hadoop-minikdc` for SASL unit and system tests. This library
> contains a single `MiniKdc` class that depends on Apache Directory Server for
> most of the functionality. Even so, there are a couple of bugs (KAFKA-3453,
> KAFKA-2866) that would be easy to fix if we had our own `MiniKdc`.
