Zoltan Farkas commented on AVRO-406:
------------------------------------
Its 2015 :-) Streaming functionality is implemented in GRPC which uses
http://www.grpc.io/docs/guides/wire.html underneath.
Grpc doc claims they can support any type of serialization... so maybe worth
looking into integrating avro serialization into grpc?
Grpc uses HTTP/2 underneath (uses netty in the java implementation) which
allows for multiplexing multiple requests on the same tcp pipe...
without streaming a rpc interface is not very useful...
> Support streaming RPC calls

> Key: AVRO-406
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-406
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: java, spec
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
> Labels: rpc
>
> Avro nicely supports chunking of container types into multiple frames. We
> need to expose this to RPC layer to facilitate use cases like the Hadoop
> Datanode where a single "RPC" can yield far more data than should be buffered
> in memory.
