Duo Zhang commented on HBASE-21649:
-----------------------------------

On the multi language support, any interest on reviving HBASE-14850? We have built a C++ client for hbase on that branch...

> Thrift1 and Thrift2 coexists in our project for a very long time. Functionality is more complete in thrift1 but its interface design is bad for adding new features（so we have get(), getVer()，getVerTs,getRowWithColumns() and so many other methods for a single get request, this is bad). Thrift2 has a more clean interface and structure definition, making our user more easy to use. But, it has not been updated for a long time, lacking of DDL method is a major weakness. 
> I think we should complete Thrift2 and supersede Thrift1, making Thrift2 as the standard multi language definition. This is a umbrella issue to make it happen. 
> The plan would be:
> 1. Complete the DDL interface of thrift2
> 2. Making thrift2 server be able to handle thrift1 requests, user don't have to choose which thrift server they need to start
> 3. Deprecate thrift1
