----------------------------------------------

                 Key: CASSANDRA-926
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-926
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core
            Reporter: Eric Evans
            Priority: Minor


Avro is data serialization and RPC framework similar to Thrift. It provides:

* Rich data structures.
* A compact, fast, binary data format.
* A container file, to store persistent data.
* Remote procedure call (RPC).
* Simple integration with dynamic languages. Code generation is not required to read or write data files nor to use or implement RPC protocols. Code generation as an optional optimization, only worth implementing for statically typed languages. 

Note: This is a very large and long-running task so treat this as a meta-issue and add sub-tasks and/or blocking issues as appropriate.
