Hi Jan, Thanks for your feedback, very helpful! You made a great point about potential dependency conflict, we'll make sure our libraries coexist well with shared Hive dependencies. I am not sure SASL is necessarily superior to gRPC. It depends a lot on the platform we run these services. For example, gRPC (and its auth) is well supported in k8s/Istio with baked-in mutual-tls support. That said, there's an existing proposal <https://github.com/grpc/proposal/pull/101> to add GSSAPI support in gRPC when Kerberos is used. We are happy to revisit this issue later if there's a strong demand to run Kerberos + gRPC.
