Dan Burkert created HBASE-8915:
----------------------------------
Summary: protobuf message style
Key: HBASE-8915
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8915
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Protobufs
Reporter: Dan Burkert
Priority: Minor
Google's protobuf style guide
(https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/style) lays out the
convention that message field names should be underscore_separated and services
should be MixedCase. The .proto's in trunk do not follow this style; instead
they follow Java naming conventions. The protobuf compiler will automatically
change the style of names to match the language it is compiling for, but it is
unable to do so if the protobuf style is not used. As a result, using the HBase
proto files from languages with different naming conventions than Java is a
little bit more painful.
Since a core feature of moving to protobufs is opening the door to wire
compatible implementations in other languages, I think this may want to be
addressed. This patch changes the naming convention in the protos. The
resulting .java files that the protobuf compiler puts out are functionally the
same (with the same correct Java naming style).
