Interesting. What is your use case? The Hadoop Hive project has something very similar although the implementation is different. The use case there is for serializing/deserializing data in a data warehouse; it can serialize/deserialize thrift data but also has some optimizations when all the fields are required and also for skipping deserializing fields when they won't be used.

It works by creating bytecode on the fly (using ASM) and can read from TProtocol into Maps or plain javabeans, and viceversa. There's lots still missing, but the basic uses cases are working. I thought you guys might find it interesting. The code is up at http://github.com/martint/swift Cheers, Martin
