Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-2478:
---------------------------------------------
bq. Do you expect the spec to be implemented "by hand"?
That's what I would do but everybody is free to do whatever he prefers :)
bq. I don't see too many people writing their own generators
That's likely true but I personally don't see that as a show stopper. In my
ideal world, what I would like to see is 1 good implementation (of the
protocol) per language that everyone reuse. Now, yeah it's unlikely COBOL will
get such good implementation soon, but I can live with that.
bq. it should be possible to verify (not "test", verify) a driver for compliance
Sure, it would be nice. I'd lie if I said this is a priority on my todo list at
this stage, but I would certainly welcome such a contribution.

> 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.
