Hi All, If there are no objections I shall upgrade 0.16 (latest master) to thrift 0.9.2 and start multiplexing API’s as discussed below.
Hi Kenneth, Sorry I missed to answer your query earlier, please see below: > On Mar 18, 2015, at 2:38 PM, K Yoshimoto <[email protected]> wrote: > > What are multiplex APIs? Once we write API functions in the thrift IDL, we add the implementations into the server side skeletons. As the API methods grow, the server implementation becomes unmanageable. So can break down the API into small categories. But this will force us to run a server for each of this API blocks. This will be very cumbersome for clients to figure our which service to use for which API methods. Thrift multi-plexing provides us a way to run multiple API services in one service. So the code managed in nice modular ways but the service is one which multiplexes into multiple implementations. > Does this affect how a client is written to use a thrift-generated API? Yes there are subtle changes but they are very minor and they will be absorbed in the Airavata Client wrapper provided for all supported languages. I can walk through Airavata mock up examples below, or you might find a better example in the thrift python patch at - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1914 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1914> Suresh > On Wed, Mar 18, 2015 at 02:13:45PM -0400, Suresh Marru wrote: >> Hi All, >> >> Airavata API grew larger which causes an issue with handler classes and the >> service is also getting unmanageable.
