Hi Bharath, Sender, which is to send request, is used by DFSClient for submitting to datanodes and by datanodes in write pipelines. Correspondingly, Receiveris to receive request. DataXceiver, which extends Receiver, is the class for receiving requesting in Datanode.

Looking at the documentation, I note that DataXceiverServer and DataXceiver are used to respond to clients. In what cases is the "Sender" class used? (It is also used by DataXceiver itself, in a few cases) Thanks a lot for the help! -- Bharath Ravi
