[jira] [Commented] (ZOOKEEPER-102) Need to replace Jute with supported code

["Raul Gutierrez Segales (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Raul Gutierrez Segales commented on ZOOKEEPER-102:
--------------------------------------------------

We don't necessarily have to break other clients. Can't we not use the protocol field in the ConnectRequest to negotiate such things as serialization (or compression, etc... it's a 32bit after all, lots of space!)?

> 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!)
