[jira] [Comment Edited] (KAFKA-8943) Move SecurityProviderCreator to a public package

["Viktor Somogyi-Vass (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8943?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16953840#comment-16953840 ]

----------------------------------------------------------------------

[~rsivaram], [~omkreddy], [~mprsai] why isn't {{org.apache.kafka.common.security}} a public package? Thinking of it, delegation tokens also reside in this package.
Perhaps should we refactor it into a {{org.apache.kafka.common.security.provider}} package that we consider public?

(I'd be up to doing it as it can be done pretty quickly.)

> The public interface `SecurityProviderCreator` added under KAFKA-8669 (KIP-492) is currently in the internal package `org.apache.kafka.common.security` along with other internal classes. Since this is a public interface, we should move it to a public package. We should also add `@InterfaceStability.Evolving` annotation.

> Marked as blocker for 2.4.0 since we should do this before the release.
