Christopher Tubbs created ACCUMULO-756:
------------------------------------------
Summary: Thrift API should be removed and abstracted
Key: ACCUMULO-756
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-756
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: dist, thrift
Affects Versions: 1.5.0
Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
Assignee: John Vines
Fix For: 1.5.0
The thrift API for communication between components should be abstracted out
and made more generic, so we can plug in different communications mechanisms.
The thrift code generation and the generated code should be moved to a specific
implementation of this abstraction, and put in a separate sub-module.
This can help with:
1. Making full mocking support easier (ACCUMULO-14) with an in-process "RPC"
implementation.
2. Testing alternative protocols, like Avro, Protocol Buffers, SSL, etc.
3. Minimizing dependencies and isolating thrift generated code from code that
is maintained (ACCUMULO-493).
4. Wire compatibility (ACCUMULO-751).
5. More?
