ryan rawson commented on DRILL-1:
---------------------------------
This issue has been hashed over a lot in the Hadoop projects. There was work
done to compare thrift vs avro vs protobuf. The conclusion was protobuf was
the decision to use.
Prior to this move, there had been a lot of noise about pluggable RPC
transports, and whatnot. It held up adoption of a backwards compatible
serialization framework for a long time. The problem ended up being the
analysis-paralysis, rather than the specific implementation problem. In other
words, the problem was a LACK of implementation than actual REAL problems.
Based on this experience, I'd strongly suggest adopting protobuf and moving on.
Forget about pluggable RPC implementations, the complexity doesnt deliver
benefits. The benefits of protobuf is that its the RPC format for Hadoop and
HBase, which allows Drill to draw on the broad experience of those communities
who need to implement high performance backwards compatible RPC serialization.
