Jordan Librande commented on THRIFT-2943:
-----------------------------------------
Thanks for the response and guidance, it was super helpful.
Okay, I'll use the mailing list for questions in the future -- though in this
case I feel like the documentation gap is large enough that there should
probably be a task to create some official documentation about these topics...
> Guidance about upgrading Interface Definition Files
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-2943
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2943
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Documentation
> Reporter: Jordan Librande
> Assignee: Jens Geyer
> Priority: Minor
>
> I have an existing thrift service with consumers. I want to upgrade the
> interface file to a newer version. I haven't been able to find any resources
> talking about this process in depth.
> Some of the questions I have:
> Can struct/exception definitions ever be removed?
> Can structs/exceptions be renamed?
> What's the process for changing what arguments a function can take?
> What's the process for changing the list of exceptions a function can throw?
> What's the process for changing the return type of a function?
> Is there existing documentation to help me answer these questions? I'd also
> love to see some examples of real interfaces and how they've changed over
> time.
