Thomas Koch commented on ZOOKEEPER-102: --------------------------------------- Another option would be avro. Does anybody know, whether avro is wire compatible with jute? We would need to support communication between older jute-only Clients/Servers and newer avro(+jute?) Clients/Servers. Would this be a good Google Summer of Code task? > Need to replace Jute with supported code > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: ZOOKEEPER-102 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-102 > Project: Zookeeper > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Benjamin Reed > > ZooKeeper currently uses Jute to serialize objects to put on the wire and on > disk. We pulled Jute out of Hadoop and added a C binding. Both versions of > Jute have evolved (although Hadoop still doesn't have a C binding). It would > be nice to use a more standard serialization library. Some options include > Thrift or Google's protocol buffers. > Our main requirements would be Java and C bindings and good performance. (For > example, serializing to XML would give us incredibly bad performance and > would not be acceptible!) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
