[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-6422) permit RPC protocols to be implemented by Avro

["Doug Cutting (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6422?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12788287#action_12788287 ] 

Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-6422:
--------------------------------------

My idea is to use a convention similar to that of HDFS file-system implementations.  The property name would be rpc.impl.<protocolName>, and its values would name an implementation of an RPC system.  We'd modify RPC.java to be a factory for different RPC implementations.  The central methods of an RPC implemetation are getProxy() and getServer().  This interface would be package-private, so we would not encourage others to create new RPC implementations.

> To more easily permit Hadoop to evolve to use Avro RPC, I propose to change RPC to use different implementations for clients and servers based on the configuration.  This is not intended as an end-user configuration: only a single RPC implementation will be supported in a given release, but rather a tool to permit us to more easily develop and test new RPC implementations.  As such, the configuration parameters used would not be documented.
