Re: Google Protocol Buffers - structured binary data
I have extensive experience with Thrift, and have been playing with protocol buffers for a couple days. Thrift is a more complete RPC solution, including client and server implementations, whereas PB is just a data exchange format. If you want a ready-to-go RPC server, use Thrift. If you want extensible data serialization for a variety of uses, I'd check out PB.

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.

Google Protocol Buffers - structured binary data
In case people are interested: Google has released its Protocol Buffers under the Apache license. It generates (de)serialization code for structured data in Java/C++/Python from a simple schema description. http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/ Should be pretty simple to wrap the generated code in a Writable. Could be a useful alternative to org.apache.hadoop.record, especially for data you want to use outside of the Hadoop framework. -Stuart
