IMHO list<> is the only Thrift container that guarantees ordering  at all. So 
even if perl keeps the order, any other language may not. Especially set<> is 
said to be an "unordered set of values".

Betreff: [jira] [Updated] (THRIFT-3190) In perl, a thrift set<> type should be 
ordered and have set manipulations


     [ 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3190?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel
 ]

James E. King, III updated THRIFT-3190:
---------------------------------------
    Description:
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 (which I am writing to verify SSL server refactoring) 
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.
