Re: Google Protocol Buffers - structured binary data
Has anyone looked at facebook thrift: http://developers.facebook.com/thrift/ It seems to do essentially the same thing as protocol buffer and I am curious if anyone has looked at either or both and has any thoughts. We need a solution for fast server to server communications and so any insight would be appreciated.

Re: Read SequenceFile from C++?
I don't have the answer to your question, but I just thought I would say I miss you at uncov :) Hank -- - whydoeseverythingsuck.com
Re: Hadoop future?
It is essentially impossible for me to conceive of Microsoft pulling Yahoo out of hadoop. Microsoft is blind. Yahoo is somewhat less blind, at least as it relates to the internet. Part of what Microsoft has stated is that they want the engineers from yahoo. How much sense would it make to suggest that you want all the engineers, but you want them to abandon everything they have done and start again on IIS. I dont think so. I believe Hadoop, at least in this regard, is *totally* safe. Hank - whydoeseverythingsuck.com
