So having gone through the discussion and arriving where we are now, I can 't
see how exposing multiple combinations of transports and encodings from a
framework already in use is any different than supporting similar combinations
via a pluggable API, the end result is the same, no?
What problem are we trying to solve that can't be solved by a single remote
API? Or is it that Thrift and/or Avro with a binary encoding is the wrong
choice for the One True API and JSON is the right one?
If I'm being honest, I'm not at all interested in committing a change like this
myself, regardless of how it is implemented, and more and more I'm leaning
toward an outright veto (not something I would do lightly).
I am still open to the idea that I'm wrong about this, I just haven't yet heard
a compelling argument.
