Kevin Gurney commented on ARROW-4447:
-------------------------------------
It looks like changes to support building libthrift as a shared library on
Windows were only recently introduced in [this
commit|[https://github.com/apache/thrift/commit/278528cf7b1dd5dd977bce882aa126fac8695697|https://github.com/apache/thrift/commit/278528cf7b1dd5dd977bce882aa126fac8695697.]]
through the use of `CMAKE_WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS` (as opposed to explicit
usage of `__declspec(dllexport)`).
Therefore, it seems that supporting dynamic linking would require a version
bump for Arrow's libthrift dependency to the latest upstream Thrift code beyond
stable release 0.12.0.
