             Summary: Actively update auth caches in the background
                 Key: CASSANDRA-16957
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-16957
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Feature/Authorization
            Reporter: Josh McKenzie
            Assignee: Josh McKenzie


Currently the guava cache backing the various auth caches refreshes its data lazily; you won't get an update on cached credentials until you try and read them and they're expired. For the PasswordCache in particular, this not only gives us a window of async "serve the old while you fetch the new" which isn't ideal, but also causes the cache to be invalidated and thus not adding value / perf after expiration period (24h I believe by default).

The expected behavior after this change is for the caches to auto-refresh themselves on an interval so you a) don't have stale data sitting around waiting to be served, and b) getting invalidated so having effectively a dead cache for intermittent users assuming you have the backing resources to serve them proactively.
