@jorgebay. I think option b would be the better option, however, are there
any plans for Tinkerpop to support anything other than "PLAIN" SASL by default.
If other auth mechanisms can be configured then really full SASL support should
be implemented as that will give a base for other auth mechanisms to be
implemented in future. I don't know much about SASL but I can learn :)---
