Use `Credentials Provider`-like mechanism with Redis clients

Description

It would be nice to be able to use Credentials Provider-like mechanism (or something similar), available with DB data sources, with Redis clients/connections as well. This way, one could retrieve Redis password from some other source and then use it, without setting it in quarkus.redis.hosts configuration property.

Alternative?

Is there any way to configure Redis password programmatically and make a RedisClient used like this

    @Inject
    RedisClient redisClient;

pick it up?

Is there any documentation or example about this? Thanks

We do not have an example (we should have one).

To get you going, the host provider may look like

@ApplicationScoped
@Named("hosts-provider")
public class ExampleRedisHostProvider implements RedisHostsProvider {
    @Override
    public Set<URI> getHosts() {
        // do stuff to get the host
        String host = "redis://localhost:6379/3"
        return Collections.singleton(URI.create(host));
    }
}

and in your application.properties

quarkus.redis.hosts-provider-name=hosts-provider

I think the easiest way would be to implement it in Quarkus with the credential provider contract we already have. I don’t think that would be that hard.
