I created a cleaned-up branch CEP-9-final2 and squashed commits on that branch.
Now the question is - should I create a new PR from that branch to the trunk?

> 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.
