Why? To get pcap in 1.11, one must install a new Drill version, which
requires a restart. Assuming that pcap were a separate project, you'd install a
new jar, and restart. Neither provides auto loading.
Not clear on the authentication issue. If a plugin were a separate project,
wouldn't that project have a way of certifying its jars?
Understanding this will help us figure out how to handle the growing set of
specialized storage plugins...
