--------------------------------------

Thanks [~fabbri] for your input.

> Interesting project.  Is there a demand for this feature?

Currently there was some talks to introduce kernel bypass (DPDK, SPDK, RDMA, 
IO_URING) to Apache Ozone which uses both Hadoop RPC and gRPC to improve the 
latency. Since gRPC requires Netty and it seems that Netty decides to go for 
IO_URING way although I tried to use AI to protoype an RDMA Netty transport 
([https://github.com/ivandika3/netty/pull/1]) to see how it looks like. So 
since Hadoop RPC and the HDFS socket is owned by the Hadoop project, it might 
be easier to support RDMA on Hadoop project.

I am raising this to start a discussion about the RDMA since I personally am 
not familiar with RDMA development. RDMA is currently becomes more used in AI 
related storage (i.e. to support GPUDirectStorage RDMA (GDR). For example, 3FS 
already supports RDMA and a patch tried to support GDR in  
[https://github.com/deepseek-ai/3FS/pull/407] . Other systems like SeaweedFS 
([https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs/pull/7140)] tried to suppor it, 
PolarFS also support this. Additionally an old blog 
[https://blog.glennklockwood.com/2014/05/hadoops-uncomfortable-fit-in-hpc.html] 
was talking about RDMA as a gap in Hadoop ecosystem implementation.

Yes, this is important, but currently I have no concrete plans yet so I might 
start a thread when I have a high-level roadmap for this and have had some 
experienced in RDMA related development.

> Raised this to start a discussion with the Hadoop community.
> While researching RDMA, I encountered the HIBD project 
> ([https://hibd.cse.ohio-state.edu/]) that uses RDMA on Hadoop. Technically, 
> we can decompile the Hadoop JAR using [https://github.com/java-decompiler] 
> and extract the RDMA usage. However, the concern is whether this is compliant 
> to ASF policy.
