Github user zjffdu commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/zeppelin/pull/2418 >> Do we need to support kerberos-like auth in the communication protocol (you can achieve this with Thrift, not sure with Netty)? This is internal communication channel between zeppelin server and interpreter process, so I don't think it is necessary to use kerberos here. But definitely, we need to make sure this channel secure, I think both thrift and netty support security channel. >> Do we target a single implementation dropping the other or something that can be configured with the burden to maintain multiple implementations? We would use just one, that's why I mention in the above comment that before we choose thrift or netty, we need to consider the whole picture. >> What about REST (for more easy and universal clients) or WebSocket (for push) as more alternatives? I don't see much advantages of using websocket. Netty and thrift both could do the push. And the communication channel here is one-to-one, not one-to-many.
