Bryan Duxbury commented on THRIFT-110:
--------------------------------------
bq. Well, it only impacts structs with IDs greater than 63 (I think). Are there
are lot of folks using structs that big?
The biggest one in my current setup is 85 fields. I expect it to get much
bigger with time.
> A more compact format

> Thrift is not very compact in writing out data as (say protobuf) . It does
> not have the concept of variable length integers and various other
> optimizations possible . In Solr we use a lot of such optimizations to make a
> very compact payload. Thrift has a lot common with that format.
> It is all done in a single class
> http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/lucene/solr/trunk/src/java/org/apache/solr/common/util/NamedListCodec.java?revision=685640&view=markup
> The other optimizations include writing type/value in same byte, very fast
> writes of Strings, externalizable strings etc
> We could use a thrift format for non-java clients and I would like to see it
> as compact as the current java version
