Andrew Purtell updated HBASE-794:
---------------------------------
Component/s: (was: thrift)
regionserver
master
ipc
client
Description:
This issue considers making a language neutral IPC mechanism and wire format a
first class component of HBase architecture. Clients could talk to the master
and regionserver using this protocol instead of HRPC at their option.
Options for language neutral IPC include:
* Thrift: http://incubator.apache.org/thrift/
* Protocol buffers: http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/
* XDR: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_Data_Representation
was:
This issue considers making Thrift IPC a first class component of HBase
architecture instead of its current form as a client.
