Description

Thrift (http://incubator.apache.org/thrift/) is cross-language serialization and RPC framework. This issue is to write a ThriftSerialization to support using Thrift types in MapReduce programs, including an example program. This should probably go into contrib.

(There is a prototype implementation in https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12370464/hadoop-serializer-v2.tar.gz)
