             Summary: Complete Thrift2 to supersede Thrift1
                 Key: HBASE-21649
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-21649
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Umbrella
            Reporter: Allan Yang
            Assignee: Allan Yang
             Fix For: 3.0.0, 2.2.0


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 can handle thrift1 requests, user don't have to choose which thrift server they need to start
3. deprecate thrift1
