----------------------------------
Summary: Consider supporting Unix domain socket connections in
libprocess
Key: MESOS-5900
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-5900
Project: Mesos
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: libprocess
Reporter: Neil Conway
We should consider allowing two programs on the same host using libprocess to
communicate via Unix domain sockets rather than TCP. This has a few advantages:
* Security: remote hosts cannot connect to the Unix socket. Domain sockets also
offer additional support for
[authentication|https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Security_Team/1/html/Defensive_Coding/sect-Defensive_Coding-Authentication-UNIX_Domain.html].
* Performance: domain sockets are marginally faster than localhost TCP.
