Re: [infinispan-dev] protobuf as a marshalling format for infinispan remote-query
Ah it's quite sad protostuff does not live up to the expectation :(
Compared to the google libs, streamlike is definitely a nice approach but I feel a bit sad
to have to use marshallers and the read/write pattern. Having maintained compatibility of
Java serializable object, such approach gives me the creep. How would your read code end
up after a couple of evolutions, with ifs and other condition branches? There is no
example in your tests that I could find.
Do you think either the protostuff approach or even protostuff itself is salvageable ?
From a user point of view, I tend to like this approach more than the stream one.
Especially since I don't have to do anything for the first schema version.

ProtoStreams fits :)!
Many people seem to need such a library, that's why protostuff [1] project was
created as an alternative, which sadly is quite incomplete for our purposes (lacks support
for schema evolution! - unknown fields are just discarded) and does not seem to be
frequently maintained.

can't think of any other option except streamlike :) (which might be trade-marked) So
any other options? If no options then we'll just call it marshaling. I'll move
this to the ispn branch once I know the package name :)
