Ryan King commented on CASSANDRA-2478: -------------------------------------- If you want to use netty, I'd suggest considering using finagle on top of it: http://github.com/twitter/finagle. Its written in scala but its very easy to use from java. > Custom protocol/transport > ------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-2478 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2478 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: API, Core > Reporter: Eric Evans > Priority: Minor > > A custom wire protocol would give us the flexibility to optimize for our > specific use-cases, and eliminate a troublesome dependency (I'm referring to > Thrift, but none of the others would be significantly better). Additionally, > RPC is bad fit here, and we'd do better to move in the direction of something > that natively supports streaming. > I don't think this is as daunting as it might seem initially. Utilizing an > existing server framework like Netty, combined with some copy-and-paste of > bits from other FLOSS projects would probably get us 80% of the way there. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
