Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-13363:
-------------------------------------------
I see two big gains going to at least a newer version:
* protoc 2.5.0 doesn't work out of the box on a variety of chipsets and
platforms (It was an issue raised on the mailing list a while back, so it is
impacting users.)
* Ease of contribution: protobuf 2.5.0 is no longer the default protoc that is
getting installed on new OS deployments.
The first point, IMO, is fairly important. The OOB compilation experience for
non-x86, non-Linux is pretty awful and this would be a huge improvement.
> Upgrade protobuf from 2.5.0 to something newer

> Standard protobuf 2.5.0 does not work properly on many platforms. (See, for
> example, https://gist.github.com/BennettSmith/7111094 ). In order for us to
> avoid crazy work arounds in the build environment and the fact that 2.5.0 is
> starting to slowly disappear as a standard install-able package for even
> Linux/x86, we need to either upgrade or self bundle or something else.
