Having worked with the other java/thrift based nosql solution we have been using Thrift Accelerated Protocol and it works great. It is very fast and we have seen 3-4x performance improvement on some read operations (wide rows). We have never seen this "advertised" or referrenced with any hbase python sample code so I thought I would post this to help.
from thrift.protocol.TBinaryProtocol import TBinaryProtocolAccelerated ... protocol = TBinaryProtocolAccelerated(transport) ... Thanks!
