Adding protocol buffers binding to client interface

[Amol Deshpande <am...@gazillion.com>]

For various reasons (existing codebase, clients running C#, etc.), we
are considering implementing a client interface that understands Google
protocol buffers. 
>From browsing the source in trunk, it looks like the model to follow is
CassandraServer.java in org.apache.cassandra.avro

Is that the right place to start ? Are there other parts of the code
that are involved in implementing the client interface ?

Thanks,

We have our own internal framework on top of protobufs, which is probably the way I'm going for now.
Thanks,

just out of curiosity, which RPC implementation on top of protobuffers
are you planning on using?

That would be the right model to follow, although I think you might
have an easier time maintaining a PB -> Thrift proxy in front of
Cassandra.
