Fredrik Hedberg commented on THRIFT-23:
---------------------------------------
Not that I need this, but there's also the issue about security. UNIX sockets
are nice to use in a multi-user environment where you can set POSIX permissions
for a socket instead of having to implement authentication for the TCP kind.
Just a note.

> At Rapleaf, we'd love to have a TUnixSocket and TUnixServerSocket that ran in
> Java. Before someone chimes in and says, "Java doesn't support Unix
> sockets!", I would point to JRuby's RubyUnixSocket/Server classes. They use
> JNA to get down to the bare metal and make it work. If we could take
> advantage of that class, then we'd have a really fast local machine
> transport.
