Description

The RethinkDB suite of processor all require username and password. They are marked as optional but if you don't provide them then the processor fails to initialize.

It's probably because in the AbstractRethinkDBProcessor the `makeConnection` method doesn't have a case for making a connection in the absence of username and password.

When you run the processor in this case you get an unhelpful RuntimeError with no message and a NullPointerException .
