Sean Busbey commented on ACCUMULO-756:
--------------------------------------
I'd like to benchmark changing out our Thrift RPC for Avro, but I'd much prefer
to do taht on top of this ticket.
> Thrift API should be removed and abstracted
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ACCUMULO-756
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-756
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: build, rpc
> Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
> Assignee: Christopher Tubbs
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: api, module, rpc, thrift
> Fix For: 1.7.0
>
> Attachments: ACCUMULO-756.patch
>
>
> The thrift API for communication between components should be abstracted out
> and made more generic, so we can plug in different communications mechanisms.
> The thrift code generation and the generated code should be moved to a
> specific implementation of this abstraction, and put in a separate sub-module.
> This can help with:
> 1. Making full mocking support easier (ACCUMULO-14) with an in-process "RPC"
> implementation.
> 2. Testing alternative protocols, like Avro, Protocol Buffers, SSL, etc.
> 3. Minimizing dependencies and isolating thrift generated code from code
> that is maintained (ACCUMULO-493).
> 4. Wire compatibility (ACCUMULO-751).
> 5. More?
