Michi Mutsuzaki commented on ZOOKEEPER-102: ------------------------------------------- Reopened the issue for 4.0.0. I am worried about breaking compatibility through, given that it'll break third party client libraries like kazoo. > Need to replace Jute with supported code > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: ZOOKEEPER-102 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-102 > Project: ZooKeeper > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Benjamin Reed > Fix For: 4.0.0 > > > ZooKeeper currently uses Jute to serialize objects to put on the wire and on > disk. We pulled Jute out of Hadoop and added a C binding. Both versions of > Jute have evolved (although Hadoop still doesn't have a C binding). It would > be nice to use a more standard serialization library. Some options include > Thrift or Google's protocol buffers. > Our main requirements would be Java and C bindings and good performance. (For > example, serializing to XML would give us incredibly bad performance and > would not be acceptible!) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
