Description

This came up during reasoning about a Ditto "History Store" based on IoTDB, see https://github.com/eclipse/ditto/issues/545.

We would rely on Ditto for managing permissions (as it already does for the "live" data) so we would need a way to combine that. My idea was to create a gRPC/Thrift Proxy / Intersector which registers as Server and interacts with the "real" clinet and builds a connection to the "real" server, a man in the middle. He then gets the Query and can check it for Ditto permissions (but we could keep it generic for ohter use cases too) and only pass it, if its okay.

What do others think about that?
