Hi, I had a go at a KIP that addresses this JIRA https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4180 "Shared authentification with multiple actives Kafka producers/consumers"
which is a limitation of the current Java client that we (IBM MessageHub) get asked quite often lately. We will have a go at a PR soon, just as a proof of concept, but as it introduces new public interfaces it needs a KIP. I'll welcome your input.
