Steve Loughran commented on HDFS-4866:
--------------------------------------
Moved to HDFS as it is an NN protocol issue.
# I hope it's not too late to fix this; protocols are sensitive.
# we should really get jenkins to do the proto-c builds too, to catch
regressions here
> Protocol buffer support cannot compile under C

> Key: HDFS-4866
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4866
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0.4-alpha
> Reporter: Ralph Castain
> Attachments: NamenodeProtocol.pb-c.c, NamenodeProtocol.pb-c.h
>
>
> When compiling Hadoop's .proto descriptions for use in C, an error occurs
> because one of the RPC's in NamenodeProtocol.proto is named "register". This
> name is a reserved word in languages such as C. When using the Java and C++
> languages, the name is hidden inside a class and therefore doesn't cause an
> error. Unfortunately, that is not the case in non-class languages such as C.
> Note: generating the C translation of the .proto files requires installation
> of the protobuf-c package from google:
> http://code.google.com/p/protobuf-c/
