How can Jedis connect to a redis server using a socket connection?

I'm having problems figuring out how to use the Jedis library to connect to a redis socket connection.

I know how to connect through a network port:

Jedis jedis = new Jedis("localhost");
//Jedis jedis = new Jedis(unix_socket_path="/tmp/redis.sock");

But the socket connection(second in the list) doesn't work. The commands looked simlair to redis-py(python client) but when I tried the same syntax it didn't work. I also looked through the jedis sourcecode on github but couldn't see anything. Any ideas?

Modern versions of Jedis support UNIX domain sockets through custom Socket factories. Here is an example of how to use it.

I don't think Jedis support unix domain sockets.

The constructor with a single parameter only accepts a hostname (using default TCP port).

Java is portable. It is supposed to provide the same API on different platforms. Unix domain sockets are specific to Unix/Linux. So the Java standard API does not support unix domain sockets. There are separate Java packages for this, but AFAIK, Jedis do not use them.
