Interface IAuthenticator

Handles SASL authentication with Cassandra servers. A server which requires authentication responds to a startup message with an challenge in the form of an AuthenticateMessage. Authenticator implementations should be able to respond to that challenge and perform whatever authentication negotiation is required by the server. The exact nature of that negotiation is specific to the configuration of the server.
