Github user pellmont commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/zeppelin/pull/2891 nice if I can contribute :-) I think the current API for the credentials makes sense, of course it would be nice if the credentials could be shared across users without exposing the underlying passwords. But I think as long as there are different interpreters (especially those with "free-form-connections" like spark, livy, etc) it's impossible without implementing quite some code for each of the interpreters. Ending up with limited possibilities to cpnnect to a datasource. What do you exactly mean by "match the other way"? Using the same syntax? Curly braces to be replaced and double-curly-braces to escape? Or do you mean by the configuration option(s)? Or both?
