Allen Wittenauer commented on HDFS-2060:
----------------------------------------
Are protobufs endian-aware? In other words, if I have a SPARC NN and Intel
DNs, will everything work or will it fail like it does now? (Having a
non-Intel box for the NN is highly desirable due to TLB issues...)
> DFS client RPCs using protobufs

> The most important place for wire-compatibility in DFS is between clients and
> the cluster, since lockstep upgrade is very difficult and a single client may
> want to talk to multiple server versions. So, I'd like to focus this JIRA on
> making the RPCs between the DFS client and the NN/DNs wire-compatible using
> protocol buffer based serialization.
