Jacek Lewandowski commented on SPARK-11140:
-------------------------------------------

[~vanzin] it would be better to use SSL key-pair than Digest-MD5 for encryption 
- it is pretty outdated and currently marked as historic in RFC 6331 
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6331).

Anyway, I like the idea of moving file server to RPC and I know it will open 
more ways to configure authentication and encryption. 


> Replace file server in driver with RPC-based alternative
