ryan rawson commented on HBASE-794:
-----------------------------------
Perhaps you can outline exactly how you can work around lack of NULLs in thrift
that does _not_ involve exceptions? I think it should not be required to use
exceptions during non-exceptional events - many systems have lower performance
under thrown exceptions, and the code path is complex.
I just wish that compact binary protocols wasn't a late addition. It doesn't
give me confidence by the late addition of what should have been there from day
one.
> Language neutral IPC as a first class component of HBase architecture
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-794
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-794
> Project: Hadoop HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: client, ipc, master, regionserver
> Reporter: Andrew Purtell
> Assignee: Andrew Purtell
> Priority: Minor
>
> This issue considers making a language neutral IPC mechanism and wire format
> a first class component of HBase architecture. Clients could talk to the
> master and regionserver using this protocol instead of HRPC at their option.
> Options for language neutral IPC include:
> * Thrift: http://incubator.apache.org/thrift/
> * Protocol buffers: http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/
> * XDR: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_Data_Representation
