----------------------------------
Summary: Provide a protobuf definition for stream metadata and
segment metadata
Key: DL-172
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DL-172
Project: DistributedLog
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: distributedlog-protocol
Reporter: Gerrit Sundaram
Assignee: Gerrit Sundaram
Fix For: 0.5.0
Currently there is not stream metadata structure and log segment metadata is a
customized string structure. it would be good to use any IDL like thrift,
protobuf to store the metadata like what bookkeeper is doing.
The reason to choose protobuf is
- because bookkeeper is using protobuf, it is okay to use same stuff.
- the thrift version that DL is using is a bit too old and hard to bump because
it seems the version is customized for finagle. using protobuf is easier to
support other language clients.
