ksqldb-api-client: cannot configure proxy, truststore managers, key types, daemon threads, etc.

[credmond]

This Ksqldb Java client API, which wraps Vertx, is totally inflexible. It's incredibly short-sighted. Why? You cannot set proxy configuration, connect or read timeouts, or key types besides JKS, or to use daemon threads, etc., (all things the underlying Vertx framework supports).

Why wrap a framework only to castrate its functionality like this and provide no sensible way to customise / override?
