Jake Farrell updated THRIFT-2366:
---------------------------------
Component/s: Wish List
> Running Thrift in a single process / as a foreign function interface
> --------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-2366
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2366
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Wish List
> Reporter: Eric Christiansen
>
> I propose Thrift be enhanced by allowing the server and client to exist in
> the same thread.
> The user semantics would be similar to foreign function interfaces, such as
> those generated by SWIG.
> Please see this SO question:
> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21211749/running-apache-thrift-in-a-single-process-as-a-foreign-function-interface
> Use case 1:
> Bob writes a CLI Python app that depends on C++ code.
> His users integrate his app into shell scripts, and are happy they don't have
> to worry about starting and stopping a Thrift server.
> Use case 2:
> Alice is an iOS developer who wants to combine Haskell and C.
> Forking processes isn't allowed in iOS, so before she couldn't start a Thrift
> server and get the desired combination.
> But now everything can live in a single thread, so she gets her polyglot
> programming.
