Hello all, for the comment in https://github.com/apache/incubator-distributedlog/pull/99, I am starting this email thread for discussing using protobuf to store metadata for ease extension.
I have a few reasons for using protobuf rather than using thrift: - bookkeeper is using protobuf for storing metadata. so there is no extra dependency. and it will make things consistent. - the thrift version that DL is using now is 0.5.0-1, which is an out-of-date thrift version and seems to be a special version that Twitter customized for finagle. it makes me impossible to build a c++ client to access DL. - using protobuf, I can easily write a gRPC request handler for current proxy service to support c++. Any thoughts? - Sijie
