Will this allow for hbase clients in other languages? It seems that if pb are being used then any
language pb supports could have a first class client and not have to use a separate (and not super
maintained) thrift server. You would want to keep the client to be light though if it were to be
ported to other languages.
IMHO it seems that if we are going to the work of redoing the client communications we should be
considering other languages. It seems like having first class clients in various languages could
only increase hbase adoption which would be a good thing :-) I would really like to see hbase be
more usable from other languages besides java.

Hello,
As HBase installation base is getting bigger, we are ready to work on the wire
compatibility issue.
The goal is to make HBase easier for operators to upgrade, while it is also
easier for developers to
enhance, re-architect if necessary.
The attached is a proposal we came up. We'd like to start with two phases:
Phase 1: Compatibility between client applications and HBase clusters
Phase 2: HBase cluster rolling upgrade within same major version
Could you please review?
Thanks,
Jimmy
