public class MutableCredentials extends Credentials
A mutable Credentials implementation that delegates authentication behavior to a scoped
ServiceAccountCredentials instance.
This class is intended for scenarios where an application needs to replace the underlying
service account credentials for a long-running Spanner Client.
All operations inherited from Credentials are forwarded to the current delegate,
including request metadata retrieval and token refresh. Calling #updateCredentials(ServiceAccountCredentials) replaces the delegate with a newly scoped
credentials instance created from the same scopes that were provided when this object was
constructed.
