Add ability to include Protobufs in ObjectWritable --------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-7379 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7379 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Improvement Components: io, ipc Affects Versions: 0.23.0 Reporter: Todd Lipcon Assignee: Todd Lipcon Fix For: 0.23.0 Per HDFS-2060, it would make it easier to piecemeal switch to protocol buffer based data structures in the wire protocol if we could intermix the two. The IPC framework currently provides the concept of "engines" for RPC, but that doesn't easily allow mixed types within the same framework for ease of transition. I'd like to add the cases to ObjectWritable to be handle subclasses of {{Message}}, the superclass of codegenned protobufs. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
