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:
