Description

We've had difficulty probing the root cause of performance slowdown with in-transit encryption using AES-NI. We finally found the root cause was the Hadoop client did not configure encryption properties correctly, so they did not negotiate AES cipher suite when creating an encrypted stream pair, despite the server (a data node) supports it. Existing debug message did not help. We saw debug message "Server using cipher suite AES/CTR/NoPadding" on the same data node, but that refers to the communication with other data nodes.

It would be really helpful to log a debug message if a SASL server configures AES cipher suite, but the SASL client doesn't, or vice versa. This debug message should also log the client address to differentiate it from other stream pairs.

More over, the debug message "Server using cipher suite AES/CTR/NoPadding" should also be extended to include the client's address.
