Christoph Hack commented on CASSANDRA-2478:
-------------------------------------------
I would really appreciate a such a custom protocol since I would like to write
a Go client.
Go seems to be a bad fit for Thrift since the language and API is improving
steadily (which isn't a problem for Go programs, since there is a tool called
"gofix" which is able to rewrite existing code), but updating the
code-generator for Thrift all the time is not practical. Also, I do not want to
contribute to Thrift at the moment and writing a generator to generate
non-idiomatic code instead of writing a nice API in the first place (without
huge amounts of duplicated generated code) seems like the better solution for
me (but that's just my personal preference).
I know, this feature was just proposed recently, but is it likely that it might
be implemented in the near future?

> A custom wire protocol would give us the flexibility to optimize for our
> specific use-cases, and eliminate a troublesome dependency (I'm referring to
> Thrift, but none of the others would be significantly better). Additionally,
> RPC is bad fit here, and we'd do better to move in the direction of something
> that natively supports streaming.
> I don't think this is as daunting as it might seem initially. Utilizing an
> existing server framework like Netty, combined with some copy-and-paste of
> bits from other FLOSS projects would probably get us 80% of the way there.
