Hi ALL, Where can i find the socket factories that are used by hadoop to create its sockets. By this i mean to say that map-reduce framework of hadoop along with HDFS uses sockets to communicate with each other. So, i am looking for socket factories that hadoop framework uses to carry out its work. I looked into the hadoop directory and could find SocksSocketFactory and StandardSocketFactory java classes in core/org/apache/hadoop/net directory. Are these the only socket factories used by hadoop or is there any more??
One more thing, can i create my own socket factory and use that to create sockets that can be used by hadoop?? Ahmad
