Jens Geyer updated THRIFT-5778: ------------------------------- Description: Describing the endpoint specifics for a Thrift API today is a purely text-adventure like exercise, which leaves the client end with the task to set up and stack together a proper protocol/transport stack. That sometimes even leads to headaches, e.g. if the server requires e.g. framed protocol which might not be obvious. The use of a generally accepted, machine-readable and extensible Thrift URI format to describe client bindings could streamline that process. Details (work in progress) at https://github.com/Jens-G/thrift/blob/thrift-uri/doc/specs/thrift-uri.md was: Describing the endpoint specifics for a Thrift API today is a purely textual exercise, which leaves the client end with the task to set up and stack together a proper protocol/transport stack.
