We tried Avro, Thrift and Protobuf and Avro was our choice. The schema of collections in Rakam is dynamic and with both Thrift and Protobuf schema evolution is not that easy at runtime. Avro is easier to use in Java and doesn't enforce code generation, the dynamic classes are optimized for performance so it's a better option for us.
