+1 for Avro as something to watch and consider. I concur that
performance and simplicity are the quintessential attributes to
prioritize; for me that excludes code generation.
+1 for something simple like HTTP+JSON or line-based as an interface
of last resort/debug.

I'm interested in Avro as kind of a better Thrift, but that's still

I'm not really interested in stuff that's going to be Much Slower like
anything over http (Jay from Voldemort said that's basically a waste
of time and I believe him) or anything that requires hand-writing
clients for each language (everything else?).

I wanted to start a small discussion to see if there is any interest
in supporting alternative wire protocols or perhaps junking Thrift to
some degree.
Some options:
* Use JSON over HTTP
* Use BSON over...something (http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/BSON
)
* Use ASN.1 over...something
* Use Protocol Buffers over...something
* Use Thrift, but package Cassandra-specific clients for each
language
I have not thought too coherently about this but generic Thrift seems
to be a pain point for everybody.
