I was trying the compiler from the latest master branch, and got this error on one of our existing thrift files:
[ERROR:/path/to/file.thrift:182] (last token was 'uuid') The line is basically a field named uuid: 40: optional string uuid, So I think what happens is that uuid is now a reserved word of thrift, and we can no longer use it as the name of a field/struct/etc. (the same as we cannot name a field "string" or "i64") This is a big problem. This means that old thrift file no longer compiles without modification (uuid is likely a commonly used field name right now when we actually needs an uuid there), and renaming an existing field is also a breaking change (it means all the code have to be changed to accommodate the new field name). I'm not sure how feasible it is to make it not a reserved word?
