Noble Paul commented on THRIFT-110:
-----------------------------------
bq.Are you suggesting that the non-homogeneous collections would only contain
base types?
In our case , yes. We only support basic types
But I guess it is not a fair assumption to be made on behalf of the rest of the
community, I would assume that it must accept all the basic types + all the
structs defined in the IDL.
We can gradually work towards it.
bq.If non-homogenous collections are make-or-break for you ....
The types w/o wild cards *must* continue to work as it works now. The
non-homogeneous types must be dealt as a totally different type (maybe by
flipping a the top bits).

> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Noble Paul
>
> Thrift is not very compact in writing out data as (say protobuf) . It does
> not have the concept of variable length integers and various other
> optimizations possible . In Solr we use a lot of such optimizations to make a
> very compact payload. Thrift has a lot common with that format.
> It is all done in a single class
> http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/lucene/solr/trunk/src/java/org/apache/solr/common/util/NamedListCodec.java?revision=685640&view=markup
> The other optimizations include writing type/value in same byte, very fast
> writes of Strings, externalizable strings etc
> We could use a thrift format for non-java clients and I would like to see it
> as compact as the current java version
