Accumulo Developers, We're trying to boost throughput of non-Java tools with Accumulo. It seems that the lowest hanging fruit is to stop using the thrift proxy. Per discussion about Python and thrift proxy in the users list [1], I'm wondering if anyone is interested in helping with a native C++ client? There is a start on one here [2]. We could offer a bounty or maybe make a consulting project depending who is interested in it.
We also looked at trying to run a separate thrift proxy for every worker thread or process. With many cores on a box, eg 32, it just doesn't seem practical to run that many proxies, even if they all run on a single JVM. We'd be glad to hear ideas on that front too. A potentially big benefit of making a proper C++ accumulo client is that it is straightforward to expose native interfaces in Python (via pyObject), Go [3], Ruby [4], and other languages. Thanks for any advice, pointers, interest.
