>             Project: Cassandra
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Feature/Authorization
>            Reporter: Berenguer Blasi

> Currently we can create a user with a very insecure password such as 'A'.
> _CREATE ROLE coach WITH PASSWORD = 'A' AND LOGIN = true;_
>  
> As we can see there are no restrictions on length, characters, etc We should 
> discuss and adopt some best practices in this area. A warning would be the 
> preference instead of erroring out. Historically this has been left to be 
> dealt by LDAP or other auth systems so we can't error out.
> Newcomers:
> - We should add warnings when a weak password is provided on DCL CQL. The 
> {{validate}} method looks like a good place at face value. Fell free to 
> analyze and suggest otherwise. See {{ClientWarn}} usages for examples.
> - We should add junit methods for the newly created warnings
