duanyi created THRIFT-5423:
------------------------------
Summary: Support parameter validation in IDL
Key: THRIFT-5423
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-5423
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Build Process
Reporter: duanyi
Attachments: thrift-parameter-validation-proposal.md
We notice that Thrift IDL has no user-defined parameter validating mechanism at
present, which is a common need for web services. As for Protobuf, the
parameter validation gets community supports like PGV
([protoc-gen-validate|https://github.com/envoyproxy/protoc-gen-validate]),
benefiting from its strong plugin mechanism. If we can use build tool to
generating codes for simple and unchangeable constraint, the web service will
be more robust and developers will benefits from lighter work. Take a long-term
view, auto-generated parameter validation may be a step towards code-less web
services.
Here we propose the *Validation Annotation* for meeting this need.
