Zili Chen commented on ZOOKEEPER-102:
-------------------------------------
Hi [~randgalt] & [~eribeiro] for the workflow I think transform this JIRA into
an umbrella issue and kick off a series of subtasks is a good beginning. IIRC
ZK has a dedicate Gitter channel we can make use of; besides we can synchronize
significant decision on JIRA or design document.
Here are a few questions:
1. As described by [~randgalt], we don't keep backward compatibility in this
effort. I agree and second that "If Jute classes are retained, there's nothing
more to do refactoring-wise". However, this requires a community consensus
anyway.
2. For the form we check in code, shall we start a branch towards this big
refactor in apache/flink repo, collaborate on that branch and eventually merge
into 4.x branch(or itself be).
3. As I mentioned above, there are still a few of users who develop their
application on c-client, which means this effort also breaks such users setup.
Of course I'm glad to help on this effort!

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-102
> Project: ZooKeeper
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Benjamin Reed
> Assignee: Jordan Zimmerman
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 4.0.0
>
>
> 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!)
