------------------------------------------
[~stack] Can you please elaborate what you meant by "directly hooking the
client and server protobuf Services up to each other". I am new to HBase and
would like to become a contributor. Thanks.

> In hbase, on server-side, we have a short-circuit facility that bypasses RPC
> by directly hooking the client and server protobuf Services up to each other.
> Passing through the Protobuf Service stub requires that the invocation be
> cast as protobufs -- the invocation itself and all params are converted to
> protobuf to pass through the eye of the protobuf Service stub. Can we do
> better and make direct invocations w/o having to do the protobuf
> marshalling/unmarshalling? (Can we do it in a way that is not brittle in need
> of careful repair whenever a change is made?). It would make for some nice
> savings.
