David Mollitor commented on ZOOKEEPER-102:
------------------------------------------
[~maoling] Instead of sinking even more time into jute, may I recommend that ZK
simply replace the jute framework with something else? Protobufs is perhaps
the best replacement, but ZK, being part of Apache, should probably use an
Apache serialization library (eat Apache dog food / drink Apache champagne).
* Apache Avro
* Apache Thrift
* Google Protobufs
I have recently put some of my own time into improving Avro and Thrift. If you
would like to improve performance of serialization, best that everyone focuses
their energy on these libraries.

> Key: ZOOKEEPER-102
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-102
> Project: ZooKeeper
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Benjamin Reed
> Priority: Major
> 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!)
