Duru Can Celasun commented on THRIFT-5164:
------------------------------------------

I think both approaches have their merits. [~fishywang]'s minimal approach is 
cleaner by being limited to the library, which is why I quite liked it and 
accepted the PR.

The [other one|https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/1992] is much heavier and 
requires extensive changes to the compiler. I'm not opposed to it in principle, 
but it adds a lot of verbosity and duplicated code to the generator output for 
something that's not strictly necessary. As [~fishywang] showed above, 
ProcessorMiddleware can be used to the same effect, it just needs a bit of 
manual mapping.

There is also the fact that the thrift project is understaffed nowadays and 
active contributors who understand the compiler are few, so I'm hesitant to 
increase our maintenance burden when the same functionality can be achieved in 
user code.

That said, I still haven't made up my mind about it so the PR remains open.

> We (Reddit) recently implemented TProcessor level middleware support in our 
> Baseplate.go library, and we think that our implementation is generic enough 
> that it might make sense to contribute that into the thrift library. The 
> related implementation are all in this file: 
> https://github.com/reddit/baseplate.go/blob/4225e42dc8dde56b222ac7ea3a4ff63aa726f6a6/thriftbp/middlewares.go
> https://github.com/reddit/baseplate.go/blob/4225e42dc8dde56b222ac7ea3a4ff63aa726f6a6/tracing/middlewares.go#L40-L64
>  is an example of how a tracing middleware is implemented.
> If we think that's a good idea, then we can contribute that into thrift repo 
> (with renames, of course). One implementation detail I'm not sure is that 
> whether we want to expand the TProcessor interface to also include 
> ProcessorMap and AddToProcessorMap, or do we want to keep the two iinterfaces 
> separate.
