ramkrishna.s.vasudevan commented on HBASE-16567: ------------------------------------------------ One question on the pom upgrade. When I did this some time back I found this, Just adding the note I had stored when we did this upgrade {code} the actual protoc.exe version shows 3.0.0 but the protobuf-java .jars are of 3.0.0-beta2. so things does not work. Since when we configure 3.0.0-beta 2 in hbase pom the protoc says it needs 3.0.0. When we configure 3.0.0 in hbase pom it says canoot find 3.0.0 protobuf jar. Hence renmaed 3.0.0-beta2 jar to 3.0.0 protobuf jar. {code} Also how were you able to compile the .proto files under src/test folder? > Upgrade to protobuf3 > -------------------- > > Key: HBASE-16567 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16567 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Task > Components: Protobufs > Affects Versions: 2.0.0 > Reporter: stack > Assignee: stack > Priority: Critical > Attachments: HBASE-16567.master.001.patch > > > Move master branch on to protobuf3. See > https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases We'd do it because pb3 saves some > on byte copies can work with offheap buffers -- needed for the off-heap write > path project -- thought read-time is still a TODO. > HBASE-15638 has us first shading protobufs before upgrading. Let us list here > issues just going to pb3 without shading if only for completeness sake; i.e. > do we have to shade? > * pb3 is by default wire compatible with pb2. > * protoc3 run against our .protos works fine except pb3 breaks our > HBaseZeroCopyLiteralByteString hack. > * Starting up a cluster that is all pb3'd seems to work fine. > * A pb2 branch-1 can read and write against the pb3 master cluster. > What will break if we just upgrade to pb3? > * We should be able to write HDFS messages on our AsyncWAL using pb3; the > pb2 HDFS should be able to read them (not tested). Or maybe not. See policy > here: https://github.com/google/protobuf/issues/1852 > * Core Coprocessor Endpoints such as AccessControl seem to just work (their > protos will have been protoc3'd). I did simple test with a server from master > branch up on pb3 and then going against it with a branch-1 client on pb2. I > was able to add grants. > * For non-core CPEPs where the protos are pb2 still, it might just work. To > test. It would not be the end-of-the-world if they did not. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
