Thanks [~mck]. [~stefan.miklosovic] does that work? I can create a separate
Jira ticket for the documentation part and provide a link here. If that works,
then you and [~jmeredithco] can let me know when can the PR be merged? In
previous comments, I read reference to running CircleCI etc but not sure who
can do that. I've been running my own CircleCI but not sure what is the process.

> Key: CASSANDRA-16666
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-16666
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Messaging/Internode
> Reporter: Maulin Vasavada

> Priority: Normal
> Fix For: 4.x

>
> Currently Cassandra creates the SSLContext via SSLFactory.java. SSLFactory is
> a final class with static methods and not overridable. The SSLFactory loads
> the keys and certs from the file based artifacts for the same. While this
> works for many, in the industry where security is stricter and contextual,
> this approach falls short. Many big organizations need flexibility to load
> the SSL artifacts from a custom resource (like custom Key Management
> Solution, HashiCorp Vault, Amazon KMS etc). While JSSE SecurityProvider
> architecture allows us flexibility to build our custom mechanisms to validate
> and process security artifacts, many times all we need is to build upon
> Java's existing extensibility that Trust/Key Manager interfaces provide to
> load keystores from various resources in the absence of any customized
> requirements on the Keys/Certificate formats.
> My proposal here is to make the SSLContext creation pluggable/extensible and
> have the current SSLFactory.java implement an extensible interface.
> I contributed a similar change that is live now in Apache Kafka (2.6.0) -
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8890
> I can spare some time writing the pluggable interface and run by the required
> reviewers.
