I think the Netty transport is compatible with the (deprecated) SocketServer and SocketTransceiver. I think most languages include an HTTP-based implementation, not a socket-based implementation. The preferred socket implementation is SaslSocketTransceiver. It would be simple to convert the Netty implementation to be compatible with SaslSocketTransceiver for the anonymous mechanism: http://avro.apache.org/docs/current/sasl.html#anonymous Also, is there a way you might add the flag to the request or response metadata, perhaps with an RPC plugin?
