Ewen,

Thank you for the review. I agree that ideally we would have one definition
of quotas that handles all cases. But I couldn't quite fit all the
combinations that are possible today with client-id-based quotas into the
new configuration. I think upgrade path is not bad since quotas are
per-broker. You can configure quotas based on the new configuration, set
quota.secure.enable=true and restart the broker. Since there is no
requirement for both insecure client-id based quotas and secure user-based
quotas to co-exist in a cluster, isn't that sufficient? The implementation
does use a unified approach, so if an alternative configuration can be
defined (perhaps with some acceptable limitations?) which can express both,
it will be easy to implement. Suggestions welcome :-)

The cases that the new configuration cannot express, but the old one can
are:

   1. SSL/SASL with multiple users, same client ids used by multiple users,
   client-id based quotas where quotas are shared between multiple users
   2. Default quotas for client-ids. In the new configuration, default
   quotas are defined for users and clients with no configured sub-quota share
   the user's quota.
