Structure names used during (de-)serialization are unqualified
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: THRIFT-8
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-8
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Johan Stuyts
When a structure is serialized it passes its name to the protocol. This is done
to enable reflection-based protocols.
The name passed to the protocol is unqualified, so all structure names are part
of a single namespace. This can easily lead to name clashes. The problem not
only affects user-defined structures but also functions of services, as each
function introduces two structures (one for its parameters and one for its
result).
I suggest that a new namespace is used to qualify structure names, for example:
thrift.serialization:
{code:none}namespace thrift.serialization com.acme.product.component{code}
In addition names of structures for function parameters and results should be
qualified with the name of the service the function is part of:
{code:none}com.acme.product.component.SomeService.someFunction_args
com.acme.product.component.AnotherService.someFunction_args{code}
