--------------------------------------
Just an outline :

# "Since we already actually support socketfactories in RPC, why not just go
all the way, and add the ticket as a parameter to the socketfactory's
construction? Then we can do something like [...] " [interface outline by

> 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.
