SocketFactory support for flexible RPC connections (authentication, encryption
...)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-2301
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2301
Project: Hadoop
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: ipc
Affects Versions: 0.16.0
Reporter: Raghu Angadi
Currently Hadoop uses SocketFactories to support proxies for RPC connections.
HADOOP-2184 introduces a _ticket_ associated with each RPC that is transfered
to Server with each connection. The ticket is transfered transparently to the
user RPCs. Hadoop is expected to support other user authentication and
encryption like Kerberos in near future. It would be nice to have Hadoop
SocketFactory intefaces and implementations that implement different types of
connections and data encryptions, that happens transparently to RPC layer
itself.
There was some discussion about this in HADOOP-2184 and will include the
excepts in the next comment.
