------------------------------------------
Summary: In perl, a thrift set<> type should be ordered and have
set manipulations
Key: THRIFT-3190
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3190
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Perl - Library
Affects Versions: 0.9.2
Reporter: James E. King, III
Priority: Minor
Currently a set<> type in Thrift equates to a hash where the value of each type
is set to 1. The keys are interpreted as strings and therefore lose their
ordering. The TestClient for cpp sends:
The TestServer for perl receives:
$thing HASH(0x35da228)={ -1 => '1', -2 => '1', 0 => '1', 1 => '1', 2 => '1' }
Note how -1 and -2 are transposed. Further, there are no set manipulations
available.
Recommend the use of Set::Scalar as a required perl dependency for proper set
operation. This would be a breaking change but necessary to achieve proper set
semantics and operations from the native thrift type.
