James E. King, III commented on THRIFT-3979: -------------------------------------------- I think what folks are saying is that THeader already exists and allows you to do this, so why would we need another protocol? [~jensg] Are you suggesting that we should not come up with a unique session ID per client as part of the thrift core, but instead leave it up to the implementation to pass a unique ID as a header if they want their server to be able to correlate between calls? > offer TExtendedBinaryProtocol for customers > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: THRIFT-3979 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3979 > Project: Thrift > Issue Type: Story > Components: Wish List > Affects Versions: 0.9.3 > Reporter: Xiaoshuang LU > > Sometimes, customers wanna put some options (whatever customers want) in each > request and response. And these options ought to be transparent for > applications. > Unfortunately, thrift protocol does not have good extensibility for extra > functionalities. I would like to propose the following solution to address > this issue. > 1. TMessage adds a new field called "options" > 2. customers set "options" > 3. TExtendedBinaryProtocol writes "options" when "writeMessageBegin" invoked > 4. TExtendedBinaryProtocol reads "options" when "readMessageBegin" invoked -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
