Note that jute is poor on schema evolution(See also ZOOKEEPER-3290). Although
it is still a trade off between implementation complexity and schema evolution
if there is no significant performance booster, I think it is important for us
to improve schema evolution flexibility.

>
> ZooKeeper currently uses Jute to serialize objects to put on the wire and on
> disk. We pulled Jute out of Hadoop and added a C binding. Both versions of
> Jute have evolved (although Hadoop still doesn't have a C binding). It would
> be nice to use a more standard serialization library. Some options include
> Thrift or Google's protocol buffers.
> Our main requirements would be Java and C bindings and good performance. (For
> example, serializing to XML would give us incredibly bad performance and
> would not be acceptible!)
