-----------------------------
> Structure names used during (de-)serialization are unqualified
> --------------------------------------------------------------

> 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}
