[jira] Commented: (HBASE-1015) pure C and C++ client libraries

["Andrew Purtell (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1015?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12649782#action_12649782 ] 

Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-1015:
---------------------------------------

Understood that there's no reason a C/C++ shop can't use Thrift directly, but rightly or wrongly the "extra work" is objectionable.

>             Project: Hadoop HBase
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: client
>            Reporter: Andrew Purtell
>            Priority: Minor

> If via HBASE-794 first class support for talking via Thrift directly to HMaster and HRS is available, then pure C and C++ client libraries are possible. 
> The C client library would wrap a Thrift core. 
> The C++ client library can provide a class hierarchy quite close to o.a.h.h.client and, ideally, identical semantics. It  should be just a wrapper around the C API, for economy.
> Internally to my employer there is a lot of resistance to HBase because many dev teams have a strong C/C++ bias. The real issue however is really client side integration, not a fundamental objection. (What runs server side and how it is managed is a secondary consideration.)
