There seems to be a confusion of terminology here. Thrift has a 
"Binary" protocol, which is not compact in the sense that it 
consists of the data fields more or less blitted into a message. 
There is also a "Compact" protocol, which is also a binary 
format, but employs things like variable-length integers to 
reduce size –  similar to Protobuf.
