Allan Yang commented on HBASE-21649:
------------------------------------
[~Apache9], that's just C++, there are many customers visiting HBase with Go,
python, etc. We have to make thrift complete first to meet their need, before
we can focus on a more efficient native client...
> Complete Thrift2 to supersede Thrift1

> Key: HBASE-21649
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-21649
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Umbrella
> Reporter: Allan Yang
> Assignee: Allan Yang
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 3.0.0, 2.2.0
>
>
> Thrift1 and Thrift2 coexists in our project for a very long time.
> Functionality is more complete in thrift1 but its interface design is bad for
> adding new features（so we have get(), getVer()，getVerTs,getRowWithColumns()
> and so many other methods for a single get request, this is bad). Thrift2 has
> a more clean interface and structure definition, making our user more easy to
> use. But, it has not been updated for a long time, lacking of DDL method is a
> major weakness.
> I think we should complete Thrift2 and supersede Thrift1, making Thrift2 as
> the standard multi language definition. This is a umbrella issue to make it
> happen.
> The plan would be:
> 1. Complete the DDL interface of thrift2
> 2. Making thrift2 server be able to handle thrift1 requests, user don't have
> to choose which thrift server they need to start
> 3. Deprecate thrift1
