## Interface SocketFactory

- All Known Implementing Classes:
    SniProxySocketFactory
  Functional Interface:
    This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.

      @FunctionalInterface
      public interface SocketFactory

  A socket factory used to create sockets from a client to locators or servers. Sockets returned by this factory will have the rest of the configuration options specified on the `Pool` and on the `ClientCache` applied to them. In particular, sockets returned by this factory will be wrapped with SSLSockets if ssl is enabled for this client cache based on `ConfigurationProperties.SSL_ENABLED_COMPONENTS`. Sockets return by this factory should not be SSLSockets. For modifying SSL settings, see `SSLParameterExtension` Sockets returned by this factory should be in an unconnected state, similar to `Socket()` This factory can be used for configuring a proxy, or overriding various socket settings.
