Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-1015:
---------------------------------------
[~mikhail] Perhaps someone more versed in Thrift and its C++ language support
in particular could say, but can we plug in Thrift's
TSasl{Client,Server}Transport here for authenticated opens and optional wire
encryption?
> pure C and C++ client libraries
> -------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-1015
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1015
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: client
> Affects Versions: 0.20.6
> Reporter: Andrew Purtell
> Priority: Minor
>
> If via HBASE-794 first class support for talking via Thrift directly to
> HMaster and HRS is available, then pure C and C++ client libraries are
> possible.
> The C client library would wrap a Thrift core.
> The C++ client library can provide a class hierarchy quite close to
> o.a.h.h.client and, ideally, identical semantics. It should be just a
> wrapper around the C API, for economy.
> Internally to my employer there is a lot of resistance to HBase because many
> dev teams have a strong C/C++ bias. The real issue however is really client
> side integration, not a fundamental objection. (What runs server side and how
> it is managed is a secondary consideration.)
