We talked about updating 1.8.0 to 0.9.2. 1.7 would very likely not be
updated to 0.9.2 due to worry of stability from Thrift (this has been a
real problem in the past).
Thrift itself needs consistent libraries on both sides of the wire. An
0.9.1 client doesn't work with an 0.9.2 server.
ACCUMULO-756 has been put on the back-burner for now (at least from
me). I'd love to revisit it, but unfortunately, I've had other
priorities.
As for 0.9.2, I've had a lot of concerns over our continued use of
Thrift. It has had serious regressions, and behavior changes in bug
fixes that have not
I'm not opposed to the idea...
What about the long term future (e.g., Christopher's comment) for
Thrift? Are there particularly attractive alternatives (Avro) that you
have in mind for the project? Asking both as a interested user and
general technologist.

Well, Thrift serves two purposes for us. It manages the RPC API and
handles the data serialization for the RPC.

I guess it's also worth being explicit: if you have the cycles to work
on this, we can help give direction on trying to switch 1.8.0 to 0.9.2, Max.
Necessary work doesn't imply that it has to be a committer. Likely
vetted by one of us in the end, but you can definitely help push this
along if

Hit the nail on the head. It's nice because it does solve formatting the
data in a compatible way and also delivering that data from client ot
server. It also
+1 to that.
