I would greatly appreciate if someone would point me to a working example of a x-pack security custom roles provider as briefly explained here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/5.5/custom-roles-provider.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/5.5/custom-roles-provider.html).

Does [https://github.com/elastic/shield-custom-realm-example](https://github.com/elastic/shield-custom-realm-example) help?

I don't think so, since that's a custom realm extension, and I didn't see anything roles provider-related.

Also, is there a x-pack javadoc somewhere?
