Summary: Metastore should use TCompactProtocol as opposed to TBinaryProtocol Key: HIVE-9049 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-9049 Project: Hive Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 0.15.0 Reporter: Prasanth Jayachandran Assignee: Prasanth Jayachandran Priority: Minor Hive metastore server/client uses TBinaryProtocol. Although binary protocol is better than simple text/json protocol it is not as effective as TCompactProtocol. TCompactProtocol is typically more efficient in terms of space and processing (CPU). As seen from this benchmark TCompactProtocol is better in almost all aspect when compared to TBinaryProtocol https://code.google.com/p/thrift-protobuf-compare/wiki/BenchmarkingV2 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
