Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-10389: ------------------------------------------- bq. Boost in general has a versioning problem which is really bad for libraries. If your library links against version X of boost, any application linking to you needs to use the same version... otherwise bad stuff happens. FWIW, I agree wholeheartedly. Boost's major, blocker-level drawback is it's compatibility with itself. Enough of one, that I'm more than willing to -1 any patch that uses it. The operational issues of trying to support multiple versions of boost on a machine are too high of a wall to climb. Been there, done that, didn't even get a t-shirt. > Native RPCv9 client > ------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-10389 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10389 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Sub-task > Affects Versions: HADOOP-10388 > Reporter: Binglin Chang > Assignee: Colin Patrick McCabe > Attachments: HADOOP-10388.001.patch, > HADOOP-10389-alternative.000.patch, HADOOP-10389.002.patch, > HADOOP-10389.004.patch, HADOOP-10389.005.patch > > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
