Gustavo Niemeyer commented on ZOOKEEPER-733: -------------------------------------------- Hi Patrick, Our most pressing need is actually on securing the client=>server communication indeed. The basic need is simply to require a specific certificate to connect and communicate securely with the server. Any clients which don't hold the certificate should be denied access. We're certainly available for debating on any open issues you'd like to debate on around this. > use netty to handle client connections > -------------------------------------- > > Key: ZOOKEEPER-733 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-733 > Project: Zookeeper > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Benjamin Reed > Attachments: accessive.jar, flowctl.zip, moved.zip, > QuorumTestFailed_sessionmoved_TRACE_LOG.txt.gz, ZOOKEEPER-733.patch, > ZOOKEEPER-733.patch, ZOOKEEPER-733.patch > > > we currently have our own asynchronous NIO socket engine to be able to handle > lots of clients with a single thread. over time the engine has become more > complicated. we would also like the engine to use multiple threads on > machines with lots of cores. plus, we would like to be able to support things > like SSL. if we switch to netty, we can simplify our code and get the > previously mentioned benefits. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
