Description
There are more and more integration happening between Hadoop and applications that are implemented using languages other than Java.
To access Hadoop, applications either have to go through JNI (e.g. libhdfs), or to reverse engineer the Hadoop RPC protocol. (e.g. snakebite). Unfortunately, neither of them are satisfactory:
- Integrating with JNI requires running a JVM inside the application. Some applications (e.g., real-time processing, MPP database) does not want the footprints and GC behavior of the JVM.
- The Hadoop RPC protocol has a rich feature set including wire encryption, SASL, Kerberos authentication. Many 3rd-party implementations can fully cover the feature sets thus they might work in limited environment.
This jira is to propose implementing an Hadoop RPC library in C++ that provides a common ground to implement higher-level native client for HDFS, YARN, and MapReduce.
