[jira] [Commented] (ACCUMULO-1314) Support destroyable map for creating authentication token

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1314?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13635625#comment-13635625 ] 

John Vines commented on ACCUMULO-1314:
--------------------------------------

Few different options for implementation, need feedback.
# Switch from Property to Map
# Provide expectations for classes (or interfaces) for each property.
# How do we expose these class expectations in the CLI and xml based token generators?
# Do we make our own DestroyableMap?
# Do we enforce property classes in the Map, if custom, or in the Token? Or elsewhere?

> A java properties object can be used to create Authentication tokens.  Properties use Strings which are immutable.  It would be nice if something that allowed memory to be zeroed were used.
