Sean Busbey commented on HBASE-15638:
-------------------------------------
it'll be awkward but makes it clear in the source when we mean to refer to
"our" version of protobuf vs some other project's version. It also keeps us
from messing with any of our deployment dependnecies.
on the other hand, if all of the references for "our" protobuf are in the
hbase-protocol module, then turning that into a shaded module with relocated
protobufs in place is pretty straightforward and lets the source reference the
original names.

> Shade protobufs so we can move to a different version without breaking the
> world. We want to get up on pb3 because it has unsafe methods that allow us
> save on copies; it also has some means of dealing with BBs so we can pass it
> offheap DBBs. We'll probably want to change PB3 to open it up some more too
> so we can stay offheap as we traverse PB. This issue comes of [~anoop.hbase]
> and [~ram_krish]'s offheaping of the readpath work.
> This change is mostly straight-forward but there are some tricky bits:
> # How to interface with HDFS? It wants its ByteStrings. Here in particular
> in FanOutOneBlockAsyncDFSOutputSaslHelper:
> {code}
> if (payload != null) {
> builder.setPayload(ByteString.copyFrom(payload));
> }
> {code}
> # [~busbey] also points out that we need to take care of endpoints done as
> pb. Test at least.
> Let me raise this one on the dev list too.
