             Summary: Implement a "session" concept in the socket server
                 Key: KAFKA-1683
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1683
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Sub-task
    Affects Versions: 0.9.0
            Reporter: Jay Kreps


To implement authentication we need a way to keep track of some things between requests. The initial use for this would be remembering the authenticated user/principle info, but likely more uses would come up (for example we will also need to remember whether and which encryption or integrity measures are in place on the socket so we can wrap and unwrap writes and reads).

I was thinking we could just add a Session object that might have a user field. The session object would need to get added to RequestChannel.Request so it is passed down to the API layer with each request.
