> Currently the SocketServer is only used for reactively receiving requests and
> send responses but not used for pro-actively send requests and receive
> responses. Hence it does not need to remember which channel/key correspond to
> which consumer.
> On the other hand, there are cases such as consumer coordinator that needs
> SocketServer to send requests and receive responses to the consumers.
> It would be nice to add this functionality such that an API can be called
> with the id string and the request message, and the SocketServer will figure
> out which channel to use and write that message to the key's attachment and
> set the flag as WRITABLE so that the processor can then send it.
