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

["Thomas Koch (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-102?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12923380#action_12923380 ] 

Thomas Koch commented on ZOOKEEPER-102:
---------------------------------------

Another option would be avro. Does anybody know, whether avro is wire compatible with jute? We would need to support communication between older jute-only Clients/Servers and newer avro(+jute?) Clients/Servers.

Would this be a good Google Summer of Code task?

> 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!)
