[jira] [Commented] (OODT-808) Replace OODT's XMLPRC with Avro's RPC

["Radu Manole (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Radu Manole commented on OODT-808:
----------------------------------

Hello,

My name is Radu and I am a student in the 2nd year at the Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi, Romania.
I am interested in contributing to this project. I have learned recently about RPC and web services and I really liked to learn about the technologies used to make this possible.
I downloaded and compiled the source code. I looked through the places where XMLRPC is used and the number of classes seems reasonable, some of them are really extending some abstract classes which means little will be changed through the source code.
>From what I understand OODT uses XMLRPC for communication between the computers in the GRID. Is that right?
Also, what are the biggest challenges in this project?

Thank you,
Radu.

> OODT relies on a legacy [Remote Procedure Call|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_procedure_call] implementation, namely [Apache XML-RPC|https://ws.apache.org/xmlrpc/]. Our version of this library currently sits at 2.0.1, which was released on 28th December 2005.
> This issue proposes to replace the convoluted XML-RPC logic with [Apache Avro's|http://avro.apache.org] [RPC Protocol|http://avro.apache.org/docs/1.7.7/spec.html#Protocol+Declaration] implementation.
> Right now xmlrpc implementation logic exists in the following OODT modules:
>  * catalog
>  * commons
>  * crawler
>  * filemgr
>  * mvn
>  * pcs
>  * protocol/api
>  * pushpull
>  * resource
>  * workflow
