> Currently the Thrift compiler for Go generates some very ugly (by Go's
> standard) code for method calls. This is because of the fact that Go does not
> have exceptions.
> My proposal is to change the way the exceptions are handled in Go, instead of
> returning each exception explicitly as a return value, instead return the
> exceptions as a single error return. This has another benefit that Go servers
> will no longer be able to 'throw' multiple exceptions, previously you could
> assign an error to all the defined exceptions of a method which shouldn't be
> possible.
> This change relies on the fact that the exceptions generated by Thrift
> implement the Error interface, which they now do (in 0.9.2).
> It has the downside that the exceptions thrown to a client calling a thrift
> method are no longer immediately visible. But this is the same way the Go
> standard library handles it so it shouldn't be a problem.
> It changes the generated interface so it will break backwards compatibility,
> but as 0.9.2 is already breaking backwards compatibility this shouldn't be a
> huge problem, but should be considered.
> The proposed changes change the Processor methods for each method, doing a
> type switch against all the defined exceptions for the method. The
> fallthrough case is the same INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR exception.
> Please consider this a RFC.
