David Phillips commented on ZOOKEEPER-2250:
-------------------------------------------
[~takeseem], that is correct, due to the nature of NIO, applications must add
SOCKS support themselves. The protocol itself is quite simple: after
connecting, the client sends a few bytes to the server indicating where to
connect, then the server replies with a few bytes indicating success or
failure. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOCKS
> Support client connections using a SOCKS proxy

> Key: ZOOKEEPER-2250
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2250
> Project: ZooKeeper
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: java client
> Reporter: David Phillips
>
> Connecting to ZooKeeper via a SOCKS proxy is often useful for debugging
> systems over an SSH dynamic port forward.
> It is possible to do this today with some hacking by setting
> "zookeeper.clientCnxnSocket", but that is difficult because ClientCnxnSocket
> is package-private and is quite low-level.
