----------------------------------------
Based on benchmarks, it does look like Compact is better than binary.

> Metastore should use TCompactProtocol as opposed to TBinaryProtocol

> Hive metastore server/client uses TBinaryProtocol. Although binary protocol
> is better than simple text/json protocol it is not as effective as
> TCompactProtocol. TCompactProtocol is typically more efficient in terms of
> space and processing (CPU). As seen from this benchmark TCompactProtocol is
> better in almost all aspect when compared to TBinaryProtocol
