> Provide a IDL 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.
