-------------------------------------------

             Summary: Metastore should use TCompactProtocol as opposed to TBinaryProtocol
                 Key: HIVE-9049
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-9049
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 0.15.0
            Reporter: Prasanth Jayachandran
            Assignee: Prasanth Jayachandran
            Priority: Minor


Hive metastore server/client uses TBinaryProtocol. Although binary protocol is better than simple text/json protocol it is not as effective as TCompactProtocol. TCompactProtocol is typically more efficient in terms of space and processing (CPU). As seen from this benchmark TCompactProtocol is better in almost all aspect when compared to TBinaryProtocol
