Package org.apache.flink.runtime.io.network.netty

Interface OutboundChannelHandlerFactory

@Experimental public interface OutboundChannelHandlerFactory
Custom netty outbound handler factory in order to make custom changes on netty outbound data. Good example usage of this API is custom authentication. When the user wants to send authentication information then the instantiated channel handler can modify the HTTP request. Since implementations are loaded with service loader it's discouraged to store any internal state in factories.
