Bryan Duxbury commented on HBASE-1744:
--------------------------------------

Stack asked me to take a look at your Thrift IDL. Here are the comments I came 
up with:
- It's a little confusing to typedef binary to Bytes, but that's all cosmetic.
- All your files (types, admin, client) use the same java namespace. This means 
they'll all generate a Constants.java with the same path, which means 2/3 of 
them will be clobbered. You only have constants in one of the files, which is 
good, but I think there's a good chance that class will be destroyed.

Otherwise, looks good to me.

> This mutateRows, etc.. is a little confusing compared to the new cleaner java 
> client.
> Thinking of ways to make a thrift client that is just as elegant. something 
> like:
> void put(1:Bytes table, 2:TPut put) throws (1:IOError io)
> with:
> struct TColumn {
>   1:Bytes family,
>   2:Bytes qualifier,
>   3:i64 timestamp
> }
> struct TPut {
>   1:Bytes row,
>   2:map<TColumn, Bytes> values
> }
> This creates more verbose rpc  than if the columns in TPut were just 
> map<Bytes, map<Bytes, Bytes>>, but that is harder to fit timestamps into and 
> still be intuitive from say python.
> Presumably the goal of a thrift gateway is to be easy first.
