---------------------------------------
Github user dan-blanchard commented on the issue:
https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/1136
I'm not on the Storm dev mailing list yet—I guess I should probably fix
that—but we actually already have a Python implementation of msgpack
serialization in [pystorm](https://github.com/pystorm/pystorm), the Python
multi-lang implementation that powers
[streamparse](https://github.com/Parsely/streamparse).
I've been meaning to propose for a while that instead of having your own
default Python multi-lang implementation in Storm that very few people use
(because it's not very Pythonic or production-ready), you should instead point
people to use [pystorm](https://github.com/pystorm/pystorm) at the very least.
It provides all the functionality that the `storm.py` provides but with
documentation, exception handling, logging, etc. pystorm is intended to be
used as a starting point for more full-fledged Python-Storm interop libraries
(like streamparse), but if you want to replace the bare bones provdided by
`storm.py` with an enhanced version of the same thing, it seems like pystorm is
the way to go.

>
> 1. add _org.apache.storm.multilang.MessagePackSerializer_
> 2. change default "topology.multilang.serializer" to _MessagePackSerializer_
> According to http://msgpack.org/ : It's like JSON, but fast and small.
> {quote}
> MessagePack is an efficient binary serialization format. It lets you exchange
> data among multiple languages like JSON. But it's faster and smaller. Small
> integers are encoded into a single byte, and typical short strings require
> only one extra byte in addition to the strings themselves.
