feat: add WithTokenCache to control kernel U2M on-disk token cache - #458
Conversation
Adds WithTokenCache(enabled bool) and a tokenCache DSN param that map to the kernel C-ABI setter kernel_session_config_set_u2m_token_cache_config on the OAuth U2M path. U2M-only; disabled by default (explicit opt-in preserves the driver's no-persistence posture); enable-flag only. Co-authored-by: Isaac Signed-off-by: eric-wang-1990 <e.wang@databricks.com>

One blocking issue: the new trySetTokenCacheConfig test seam declares a local k that is never used, which is a Go compile error and breaks the cgo && databricks_kernel build (the very tag the seam's test runs under). Rest of the wiring (config field, DeepCopy, DSN parse, connector bridge, forwarding) looks consistent and well-tested.
Replaces the now-inaccurate 'token caching is owned by the kernel (no driver config)' note with the WithTokenCache option (U2M-only, disabled by default). Co-authored-by: Isaac Signed-off-by: eric-wang-1990 <e.wang@databricks.com>

Pull request overview
This PR adds an opt-in control to enable/disable the Databricks SQL kernel backend’s on-disk OAuth U2M token cache, exposed both as a connector option (WithTokenCache(enabled bool)) and as a DSN parameter (tokenCache=true|false). This fits into the connector’s kernel backend configuration surface by forwarding the new flag through config assembly into the kernel C-ABI session config setter.
Changes:
- Introduces
TokenCacheEnabledin kernel experimental config and wires it through kernel config assembly into the kernel backend. - Adds DSN parsing for
tokenCacheand bridges it into kernel experimental config during connector construction. - Adds unit tests and a tagged cgo test seam to exercise the real kernel C-ABI setter.

Already satisfied in the current tree. In internal/backend/kernel/backend.go the trySetTokenCacheConfig function (lines ~532-548) no longer declares the unused k := &KernelBackend{...} variable and no longer carries the "Set auth first" comments the reviewer flagged. It now calls C.kernel_session_config_set_u2m_token_cache_config directly using the enabled parameter, so there's no unused-variable compile error in tagged kernel builds and the comment matches the behavior. No code change warranted (this cgo-tagged file is outside the pure-Go make test suite).

Expanded the TokenCacheEnabled doc comment to capture the reviewer's nuance — the zero value isn't "not applied": on the U2M path false is still forwarded to the setter to explicitly disable on-disk persistence. This matches the actual code at backend.go:436, which unconditionally calls set_u2m_token_cache_config with C.bool(k.cfg.TokenCacheEnabled). make test passes (1122 tests, 2 e2e skipped for lack of credentials, as expected).

Clean, well-tested wiring of the new WithTokenCache / tokenCache DSN option — one blocking issue: the trySetTokenCacheConfig test seam declares an unused k variable, which is a compile error in the cgo && databricks_kernel build (F1). Also a minor Thrift-path rejection asymmetry between the option and the DSN param (F2).
…cks_kernel build compiles The test seam declared an unused KernelBackend and failed 'go build -tags databricks_kernel'; only the pure-Go suite had been run. Verified: kernel-tagged tests now pass (go test -tags databricks_kernel ./internal/backend/kernel/...). Co-authored-by: Isaac Signed-off-by: eric-wang-1990 <e.wang@databricks.com>

Verdict: 1 Low
Looks good — clean, well-tested addition of WithTokenCache / tokenCache DSN wiring with matching config plumbing, disposition-map entries, DeepCopy coverage, and a cgo test seam. One low-severity note about an intentional (but slightly asymmetric) precedence in the DSN→KernelExperimental bridge; no correctness or security concerns found.

Verdict: 1 Low
Looks good — clean, well-tested addition of WithTokenCache / tokenCache DSN param wired through to the kernel U2M token-cache setter. The conditional DSN bridge (guarding KernelExperimental allocation) is correctly asymmetric vs. the unconditional arrow bridge, since a non-nil KernelExperimental would trip the Thrift-path rejection. One Low: the new withUserConfig DSN bridge lacks the propagation test its arrow sibling has.

Looks good — clean, well-tested wiring of WithTokenCache / tokenCache DSN param through to the kernel U2M cgo setter, with matching deep-copy, field-disposition, and test-seam coverage. One low-severity doc/UX gap: tokenCache=true in a DSN without useKernel=true fails at connect with ErrRequiresKernelBackend, which isn't documented.

Verdict: 1 Medium
Looks solid overall — clean wiring of the new option/DSN param through UserConfig → KernelExperimental → kernel.Config, with good unit coverage. One medium doc/behavior mismatch: the WithTokenCache godoc says disabling is "a no-op on any backend," but WithTokenCache(false) allocates KernelExperimental and is rejected on the Thrift path — the no-op claim only holds for the tokenCache=false DSN carrier.

Looks good — clean, well-documented feature with broad coverage; one low test-effectiveness note. The DSN carrier → KernelExperimental bridge, the WithTokenCache(false) opt-into-kernel behavior, and the U2M-only setter call are all consistent with the docs and the Connect-time ErrRequiresKernelBackend gate.

What & why
Adds
WithTokenCache(enabled bool)(and atokenCache=true|falseDSN param) to control the kernel backend's U2M on-disk OAuth token cache.On the kernel (SEA) path with OAuth U2M, the Rust kernel can persist the refresh token to an AES-256 encrypted on-disk cache (the OS config dir —
~/Library/Application Support/databricks-sql-kernel/oauth/on macOS,~/.config/databricks-sql-kernel/oauth/on Linux), so a later process skips the interactive browser login. This exposes a driver-level switch for that, mapping to the kernel C-ABI setterkernel_session_config_set_u2m_token_cache_config.Behavior
WithTokenCache(true)/tokenCache=true.Dependency / why this is a draft
The C-ABI setter this calls is already on
databricks-sql-kernelmain(added in kernel #227), so this is not blocked on kernel PR #283 (that PR is the napi/pyo3 surface). It's a draft pending final review; the live E2E below is already done.Testing

(A prior revision failed to compile under the tag due to an unused var in the test seam; fixed in this PR.)Live E2E (manual, interactive U2M)
