Keith Turner commented on ACCUMULO-1314:
----------------------------------------
If we had something like DestroyableMap, a user could use it in the following
way.
{code:java}
DestroyableMap tokenProps = new DestroyableMap();
tokenProps.put("password", getPassword());
PasswordToken token = new PasswordToken();
token.init(tokenProps);
tokenProps.destroy();
//use token to do accumulo stuff
token.destroy();
{code}
If AuthenticationToken were called Token, then I think we could should call
DestroyableMap TokenProperties instead. But I think
AuthenticationTokenProperties is a bit long. Could make it a static inner
class of AuthenticationToken. Then it could be AuthenticationToken.Propeties
or just Propeties in the code.
