Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-3754:
--------------------------------------
> Hmm, that release is months old. There's been a lot of changes/progress on
> Thrift since that release was made, including improvements to the Java
> portion of the system.
We should only include released code from other Apache projects. So until
Thrift makes a release from the incubator, we should not include it, since it's
not yet legally Apache code. Apache's fundamental law is that it's not
licensed by Apache until a PMC has voted it so with 3 or more +1 votes and no
-1 votes. If Facebook wanted to produce and distribute a new release of
"Facebook Thrift" under an acceptable license (e.g., the Apache license) then
Hadoop could re-distribute it, but it could not be anywhere called "Apache
Thrift".

> Thrift is a cross-language RPC framework. It supports automatic code
> generation for a variety of languages (Java, C++, python, PHP, etc) It would
> be nice if HDFS APIs are exposed though Thirft. It will allow applications
> written in any programming language to access HDFS.
