Just a point of clarification, Avro does handle RPC as well as serialization. It's one of the main bullets on their overview page: http://avro.apache.org/docs/current/index.html Unfortunately, their documentation around the subject really sucks. Some info at: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AVRO/Porting+Existing+RPC+Frameworks and a “quick start”: https://github.com/phunt/avro-rpc-quickstart -- Daniel Kulp dk...@apache.org - http://dankulp.com/blog Talend Community Coder - http://coders.talend.com
