pure C and C++ client libraries
-------------------------------
Key: HBASE-1015
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1015
Project: Hadoop HBase
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: client
Reporter: Andrew Purtell
Priority: Minor
If via HBASE-794 first class support for talking via Thrift directly to HMaster
and HRS is available, then pure C and C++ client libraries are possible.
The C client library would wrap a Thrift core.
The C++ client library can provide a class hierarchy quite close to
o.a.h.h.client and, ideally, identical semantics. It should be just a wrapper
around the C API, for economy.
Internally to my employer there is a lot of resistance to HBase because many
dev teams have a strong C/C++ bias. The real issue however is really client
side integration, not a fundamental objection. (What runs server side and how
it is managed is a secondary consideration.)
