Todd Lipcon commented on AVRO-405:
----------------------------------
I'd like to do the protocol self-described as avro records. I think Matt Massie
has some work on this somewhere - do we have an open JIRA for non-HTTP RPC?
Also, SASL support is a strong requirement for this to be used in Hadoop.

> Key: AVRO-405
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-405
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: java
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
> Assignee: Todd Lipcon
>
> A nonblocking RPC server based on Netty should be more scalable than the
> current implementation.
> We should provide two mechanisms for interfacing the RPC server to the
> implementations:
> 1) "Blocking" RPC implementations run inside a worker threadpool.
> Implementators would not know that they're working in a non-blocking context.
> 2) "Event-driven" RPC implementations that receive requests and some kind of
> request context. They are responsible for eventually calling
> context.respond(response) or somesuch. This would allow more scalable
> interaction with downstream services.
> I propose we focus on (1) first.
