Jeff Hammerbacher commented on CASSANDRA-1186:
----------------------------------------------
I feel comfortable saying that the serialization format for Avro will not
change again in the 1.x series, and the object file container almost certainly
will not change.

> Key: CASSANDRA-1186
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1186
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 0.7
> Reporter: Jonathan Ellis
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 0.7
>
>
> KSMetaData/CFMetaData serialization is fragile. We need to be able to add
> fields easily without breaking when we read old-style serialized bytes.
> Avro and Thrift are designed to handle this. We should probably use one of
> those rather than re-inventing the wheel. If Avro is mature enough for this
> then let's use that, otherwise let's use Thrift.
