> PlainSaslServerFactory will get a NullPointerException if 
> getMechanismNames(Map<String,?> props) is called with a null props map.
> The Java docs for getMechanismNames from the base class 
> javax.security.sasl.SaslServerFactory say that the map can be null:
> * @param props The possibly null set of properties used to specify the
>      * security policy of the SASL mechanisms.
> A scenario where this causes a problem is when attempting to use a Kafka 
> consumer/producer with the PlainLoginModule in the same JVM as a Hadoop 
> client with Kerberos...
> The Hadoop client purposely calls getMechanismNames with a null map, so if 
> you have already create a Kafka consumer/producer with PlainLoginModule then 
> the PlainSaslServerFactory will be registered in the list of providers in 
> java.security.Security, and then NPEs when the Hadoop client calls 
> getMechanismNames on each provider with a null map.
