James E. King III commented on THRIFT-4782:
-------------------------------------------
Linking THRIFT-4815, this is a situation where having the dynamic matrix would
help. We could see if go and python communicate in the cross tests using
compact protocol.
> Provide a dynamic interop matrix driven by the cross test results

> Key: THRIFT-4782
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4782
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Test Suite, Website
> Reporter: James E. King III
> Priority: Major
>
> For folks considering using thrift, one of the complaints I see multiple
> times in discussions is that "if you stay from the core, you're on your own".
> In other words, if I want to use the compact protocol with a csharp client
> and a python3 server using zlib compression (transport wrapper) on a framed
> transport, does it work? How would I know?
> The cross test framework generates a large amount of data about what gets
> tested:
> * client language
> * server language
> * transport
> * transport wrapper (inferred as a transport currently)
> * protocol
> * success or failure
> And some things it would be nice to have:
> * server type (simple, threaded, ASYNC) : this does not exist yet - most
> tests run with a simple server.
> Also there is a list of known combinations that fail in
> {{test/known_failures_Linux.json}}.
> It would be really nice to have a web page someone can go to which would be
> able to analyze the result of (and perhaps cache) the output from the cross
> test jobs in CI for release builds and for master builds, and let folks
> choose a variety of ways to inspect the matrix.
> # Select a server language, transport, and protocol. What clients are
> currently tested and known to work at a fundamental level? What clients are
> known not to work?
> # Select a server language, client language, and one of transport or
> protocol; show the other of the two and what works, what doesn't.
> There are probably others. Something like this would be pretty useful to
> folks who are trying to make a decision on whether to use thrift for their
> project or not.
