Ryan King commented on CASSANDRA-2478:
--------------------------------------
Finagle is a library for building protocols that *happens* to come with a few
built-in implementations (http, memcached, thrift, etc). It solves a lot of
problems that you'd have to re-build on top of netty.

> 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.
