Agree, we use Thrift at Rapleaf for this purpose. It's trivial to
make a ThriftWritable if you want to be crafty, but you can also just
use byte[]s and do the serialization and deserialization yourself.

The project I focused on has many modules written in different

XML is not efficient for appending new records.
SequenceFile seems not having API of other languages except Java.
Protocol Buffers' hadoop API seems under development.
any recommendation for this?
Thanks
