Yicheng Qin commented on THRIFT-4261:
-------------------------------------

> Ok, let's put the rubber on the road: What are the viable options we have? 
> What exactly would you propose?

One option IMO is to support backward compatibility for old function signature, 
so it won't break the project.
Another option is to cut a major version and ask everyone to update.

> Go context generation issue: breaking change in generated code regarding 
> thrift.TProcessorFunction interface

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4261
>             Project: Thrift
>          Issue Type: Bug
>         Environment: generated code for Golang
>            Reporter: Yicheng Qin

> I observe the breaking change in `thrift.TProcessorFunction` interface that 
> adds a `Context` parameter, and corresponded breaking change in the generated 
> client code.
> So the generated code from v0.9 thrift compiler can no longer run with the 
> master thrift library.
> I understand you expect that we should use the same version of compiler and 
> library for the same repository. But this is super hard in reality:
> 1. Lots of repos store the generated code, e.g., 
> https://github.com/uber/jaeger-client-go/blob/master/thrift-gen/jaeger/agent.go
>  . So it could use either old interface or new interface.
> 2. Go projects always use `glide` as version management, which uses single 
> version for one library across the repository. If one dep relies on old 
> interface, and one dep relies on new interface, the project will totally 
> break.
