Thrift + Graphs = Strong, flexible schemas on Hadoop
- lazy_nerd 17y agoWe use Goog's ProtoBuff for the same reason on Hadoop. More flexible, space and time efficient than thrift.
- nathanmarz 17y agoThrift's compact protocol is a fairly recent addition and is both dense and fast. What are the flexibility advantages of Protocol Buffers?
- lazy_nerd 17y agoProtocol Buffers are flexible because they support 'optional' fields. So we can change the structure of Protocol Buffer without breaking the system.
- nathanmarz 17y agoThrift has the exact same feature as I discussed in my post.
