Bryan Duxbury commented on HBASE-794:
-------------------------------------
I'm not sure that this will work out for you, but you *could* make Cell inherit
from TCell. If you did that, then the Thrift serialization code would be the
same, but you could have additional methods on Cell that implemented all your
domain specific logic. Obviously, this won't work if Cell needs to extend some
other class.
I have also been thinking if it would be possible for Thrift to take either
native byte[] or some sort of buffer and offset/length structure, which is what
KeyValue sounds like (correct me if I'm wrong).

> 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
