Hot Rod protocol 3.0 -------------------- Key: ISPN-5357 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-5357 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Enhancement Reporter: Galder Zamarreño Assignee: Galder Zamarreño A binary protocol rethink is needed to take better advantage of CPUs and buffering. This is based on the ideas of Martin Thompson's Simple Binary Encoding [blog post|http://mechanical-sympathy.blogspot.cz/2014/05/simple-binary-encoding.html] In essence, we need to move Hot Rod protocol towards having mostly fixed size fields, hence getting rid of `vInt` and `vLong` formats which although safe some bytes, they hinder long stream reading patterns. An optional part here would be whether to consider using SBE directly, but this JIRA should be mostly oriented at making sure we have a protocol that can be read fast and efficiently.
