Brock Noland commented on HIVE-9049:
------------------------------------
[~ashutoshc] [~prasanth_j],
I understand the reasoning for this change. However this breaks previous
versions of clients from talking with this version of Hive including any custom
clients using the thrift API directly. Of course there are good reasons to make
incompatible changes but I am not sure this is the time. Perhaps we should
revert this change or making it configurable, defaulting to off?

> 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
