I've kept quiet so far as I am neither a committer nor a big time contributor nor a long standing member of the HBase community. I also have no strong opinion about contrib vs. core in general and thrift contrib in particular. In which way is Thrift more involved than Stargate? The code itself is easily decoupled from the core as it uses only the public API via interfaces. The only slightly complex thing at the moment is that we'll keep the old API around for now so that we'll probably need a "thrift2" package or something like that. It was decided earlier (in one of the tickets) that the old API should stay in core for 0.21 anyway. Either way: If Stargate gets pulled in the core I think thrift should stay too but as I said before I'm fine either way. Cheers, Lars
