[jira] [Updated] (CASSANDRA-2922) Move SimpleAuthenticator and SimpleAuthority to examples/

["Sylvain Lebresne (Updated) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2922?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Sylvain Lebresne updated CASSANDRA-2922:
----------------------------------------

    Attachment: 2922.patch

Attaching a patch that move the two classes and the config files to examples/simple_authentication, along with a  small README.

One slight concern is that some parts (the cli, ColumnFamilyRecordReader and ColumnFamilyOutputFormat) are kind of suggesting we provide username/password authentication somehow (because they allow to configure a username and password either on the command line or in a config file), why we don't really, at least not out of the box.

> We've provided SimpleAuthenticator and SimpleAuthority, toy file-based authentication and authorization mechanisms, since CASSANDRA-547.  These are NOT production ready (even non-experts can tell the encryption is a joke) but newcomers don't always realize this.
> Let's move them to examples/ instead.
