Problem
#11307 upgraded the gRPC code to Tonic from grpcio. As part of that upgrade, Pants now uses Prost to generate Rust structs for protobuf types. By default, Prost encodes binary fields as
Vec<u8>
. Given the attendant problems ofVec<u8>
of needing to copy around bytes when structs are cloned, the more efficient method is to useBytes
for the representation to avoid unnecessary copies.Solution
Upgrade Prost to danburkert/prost@a1cccbc and enable using
Bytes
for all binary fields.Result
Existing tests pass.
