Summary of Changes

Hello @rmehta19, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request refactors the S2A (Secure Session Access) channel credential provisioning within the InstantiatingGrpcChannelProvider to adopt gRPC's AdvancedTls capabilities. The primary goal is to improve the robustness and maintainability of TLS certificate and private key management by enabling scheduled, automatic updates for both identity and trust credentials, thereby enhancing the security posture and operational flexibility of the gRPC channels.

Highlights

  • Advanced TLS Implementation: The pull request transitions the S2A channel credential management to utilize gRPC's AdvancedTlsX509KeyManager and AdvancedTlsX509TrustManager for enhanced TLS handling.
  • Scheduled Credential Updates: Introduced scheduled updates for both identity (key) and trust credentials, allowing for dynamic refreshing of certificates and private keys at a specified interval (currently 1 hour).
  • Dedicated Executor Services: New ScheduledExecutorService instances are created specifically for managing the periodic updates of the key and trust managers, ensuring these operations run in dedicated daemon threads.
  • Exception Handling: The createMtlsToS2AChannelCredentials method signature has been updated to include GeneralSecurityException to account for potential security-related issues during credential management.

Code Review

This pull request updates the S2A channel credential creation to use AdvancedTlsX509KeyManager and AdvancedTlsX509TrustManager, which enables automatic reloading of credentials. The change is functionally correct for enabling this feature. However, I've identified a critical resource leak where ScheduledExecutorService instances are created but never shut down, which could lead to an accumulation of threads over time. My review includes a comment detailing this issue and a recommendation for how to resolve it.

Thread t = new Thread(r, "s2a-key-manager-updater");

return t;
});

keyManager.updateIdentityCredentials(certChain, privateKey, 1, TimeUnit.HOURS, keyManagerExecutor);
AdvancedTlsX509TrustManager trustManager = AdvancedTlsX509TrustManager.newBuilder().build();
ScheduledExecutorService trustManagerExecutor = Executors.newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor(
r -> {
Thread t = new Thread(r, "s2a-trust-manager-updater");
t.setDaemon(true);
return t;

critical

Creating new ScheduledExecutorService instances within createMtlsToS2AChannelCredentials on each call will lead to a resource leak. This method may be called multiple times during the lifetime of a client (e.g., for each channel in a pool, and when channels are refreshed), but the created executors are never shut down. This will cause threads to accumulate over time.

To fix this, you should use shared ScheduledExecutorService instances. A recommended approach is to define them as static final fields in the InstantiatingGrpcChannelProvider class and reuse them here. Since the threads are already configured as daemons, they won't block JVM exit, but sharing them is crucial to prevent resource leaks within a long-running application.

Additionally, the logic for creating the executors is duplicated. You could extract it into a helper method. You might also consider if a single shared executor is sufficient for both the key manager and the trust manager, which would further reduce resource usage.
