Devs, I'm considering whether or not it'd be appropriate to push in ACCUMULO-1691 into the 1.6.1-SNAPSHOT branch. This would effectively bump our dependency on libthrift to 0.9.1. However, thrift 0.9.1 and 0.9.0 are 100% wire-compatible (I've been assured by jfarrell and codesf in the #thrift IRC channel).
Given that this we provide this dependency, and the bump would fix some thrift bugs, and that Thrift's own API is backwards-compatible in this version, I don't think this would impact our community except in the positive. (Note: currently, my patch for ACCUMULO-1691 bumps up the wire version, but I plan on changing that so it doesn't, now that I've been assured it is compatible... I've also done some manual tests to verify this, and haven't seen any issues across our tests, even without re-generating the thrift classes in ACCUMULO-2773; If I roll ACCUMULO-1691 in, I'd also include ACCUMULO-2773.) -- Christopher L Tubbs II http://gravatar.com/ctubbsii
