The hail project seems very interesting. Two quick questions:
a) Was Yahoo Zookeeper considered instead of reimplementing these
ideas as CLD? Was it discarded for some reason?
b) Has there been any consideration for re-using an existing
serialization format (XDR, Thrift, Protocol Buffers, whatever)?
I'm just interested in why existing infrastructure may be
inappropriate for Hail. Part of my motivation is that I hope to see
some "consolidation" in this space: I would like there to be a small
number (1 or 2) of various distributed systems infrastructure, so we
might start to see some real "compatibility." Right now it seems as
though everyone decides to build absolutely everything from scratch.
Thanks,
Evan Jones
