Hi Radar, am not aware of compatibility problems with higher version of
thrift. From what I tested with thrift 0.11and boost 1.60 the build passes(as
seen in the new pr <https://github.com/apache/incubator-hawq/pull/1323>) am
not sure if it might cause any issues later during usage. Before this
failure, recent travis CI was using thrift 0.10 which had a successful
build as well. What were the compatibility problems that were observed
before ?
Even with thrift 0.9.x we would have to switch to a lower version of boost
because the current default version of travis ci's mac image installs boost
1.65.1 which has removed the tr1 module and will cause failure.
