Ability to use a slice of a buffer instead of a direct byte[] for binary fields
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: THRIFT-484
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-484
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Compiler (Java), Library (Java)
Reporter: Bryan Duxbury
Fix For: 0.2
The HBase folks who are considering using Thrift for their internal and
external RPC have suggested that it would be a useful performance enhancement
to be able to use a subslice of a byte array as the value of a binary field,
without first doing a new byte array copy. Done correctly, this would mean that
the data could be copied once from when it is read in from the socket to when
it is written out as part of HBase's internal datastructures.
This enhancement seems like it could boost the performance of things in Hadoop,
as well, so it could be a really nice option to investigate.
