Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-794:
--------------------------------------
In a related issue (HBASE-1367), Stack posted this comment:
On the convertions from Cell and Cell [] to Lists of TCells, I suppose there is
no way to avoid this, even in the new stuff where we have lists of KeyValue
(though KeyValue is nothing but a byte [] really). If we could have KeyValue
subclass "byte []" then we could pass the list of KeyValues to thrift - but its
not possible subclassing byte []. I suppose no way to have thrift use KeyValue
lists directly - treat them as containers of byte []?

> Language neutral IPC as a first class component of HBase architecture
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-794
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-794
> Project: Hadoop HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: client, ipc, master, regionserver
> Reporter: Andrew Purtell
> Assignee: Andrew Purtell
> Priority: Minor
>
> 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
