Description

We don't have retries for the case where the secure SASL connection is getting created from the tasks. There is retry
for TCP connections, but once the TCP connection has been set up, communication at the RPC layer (and that includes
SASL handshake) happens without retries. So for example, a client's "read" can timeout.
