Ralph Castain created HADOOP-9606: ------------------------------------- Summary: Protocol buffer support cannot compile under C Key: HADOOP-9606 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9606 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.0.4-alpha Reporter: Ralph Castain
When compiling Hadoop's .proto descriptions for use in C, an error occurs because one of the RPC's in NamenodeProtocol.proto is named "register". This name is a reserved word in languages such as C. When using the Java and C++ languages, the name is hidden inside a class and therefore doesn't cause an error. Unfortunately, that is not the case in non-class languages such as C. Note: generating the C translation of the .proto files requires installation of the protobuf-c package from google: http://code.google.com/p/protobuf-c/ -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
