Factor BinaryProtocolAccelerated into separate protocol and struct components
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: THRIFT-248
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-248
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Library (Ruby)
Reporter: Bryan Duxbury
Priority: Minor
Kevin Clark's excelled BinaryProtocolAccelerated implementation in the Ruby
library is very fast, in large part due to the fact that it implements not just
the protocol but also the struct components of serialization directly as a C
extension. The problem with this arrangement is that other protocols that would
benefit from accelerated struct code don't get the benefit. In particular, I'd
like to make my implementation of the Compact Protocol fast in Ruby, and the
key appears to be the struct serialization code.
I think that we should make an effort to divorce the struct stuff from the
protocol stuff in BinaryProtocolAccelerated, so that all protocols can benefit.
Some quick benchmarking seems to indicate that there is going to be some
additional method call overhead in this situation, but it's not really that
substantial.
