Zoltan Farkas commented on AVRO-406: ------------------------------------ Its 2015 :-) Streaming functionality is implemented in GRPC which uses http://www.grpc.io/docs/guides/wire.html underneath. Grpc doc claims they can support any type of serialization... so maybe worth looking into integrating avro serialization into grpc? Grpc uses HTTP/2 underneath (uses netty in the java implementation) which allows for multiplexing multiple requests on the same tcp pipe... without streaming a rpc interface is not very useful... > Support streaming RPC calls > --------------------------- > > Key: AVRO-406 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-406 > Project: Avro > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: java, spec > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Labels: rpc > > Avro nicely supports chunking of container types into multiple frames. We > need to expose this to RPC layer to facilitate use cases like the Hadoop > Datanode where a single "RPC" can yield far more data than should be buffered > in memory. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
