I have found a bug in the generated code for the Smalltalk thrift interface.
I used thrift svn revision:

I did:
bootstrap.sh
configure
make
and then I tried to load the thrift smalltalk code from
lib/st/thrift.st
in a squeak Squeak3.10.2-7179-basic.zip, pristine image from squeak.org.
That halted with an error about a duplicated readString method
declaration. The error is fixed in the attached patch.
Next I compiled the code for the cassandra thrift:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/cassandra/trunk/interface/cassandra.thrift
with the command:
./compiler/cpp/thrift --gen st cassandra.thrift
and tried to file in the generated code
gen-st/cassandra.st
in said image.
Again the load halted. This time because of the underscores in the
generated code for the cassandra thrift definition. Squeak (and derived
smalltalks as Pharo) doesn't allow underscores in variable names (the
underscore is a legacy character used for variable assigment). Anyway I
have modified the code for smalltalk generator:
compiler/cpp/src/generate/t_st_generator.cc
so that when a variable name in the thrift definition has a "_"
character, this is removed and the next character is converted to
uppercase. e.g. a variable like column_name will be generated in
smalltalk code as columnName. This way the code loads (and works
correctly) on Squeak.
The generated code has been tested in the following smalltalk images
Squeak3.10.2-7179-basic.image
PharoCore-1.0-10491rc1.image
and in both of them the new generated code for cassandra works
correctly.
I haven't tested the code generation with a thrift spec other than
cassandra, so maybe this will introduce some bugs. For my case it worked
great.
If anyone is using cassandra and want to test it, I installed the
default cassandra server on localhost port 9160 and tested from Squeak
and from Pharo by loading
lib/st/thrift.st
gen-st/cassandra.st
Then in a Squeak or Pharo workspace:
"Insert 10000 values"
[| cp result client |
client := CassandraClient binaryOnHost: 'localhost' port: 9160.
cp := ColumnPath new
columnFamily: 'Standard1';
column: 'col1'.
1 to: 10000 do: [ :i |
result := client insertKeyspace: 'Keyspace1'
key: 'row', i asString
columnPath: cp
value: 'v', i asString
timestamp: 1
consistencyLevel: ((Cassandra enums at: 'ConsistencyLevel') at:
'QUORUM').]] timeToRun
And read the values just inserted:
"Read 10000 values"
[| cp result client |
client := CassandraClient binaryOnHost: 'localhost' port: 9160.
cp := ColumnPath new
columnFamily: 'Standard1';
column: 'col1'.
1 to: 10000 do: [ :i |
result := client getKeyspace: 'Keyspace1'
key: 'row', i asString
columnPath: cp
consistencyLevel: ((Cassandra enums at: 'ConsistencyLevel') at:
'QUORUM').]] timeToRun
Regarding the patch, I am not a C++ expert and the drop_underscores()
function surely can be improved by someone with more experience with C++
idioms. Essentially what it does is to convert:
from -> to
----- -----
a_variable -> aVariable
a_new_var -> aNewVar
column_path -> columnPath
variable -> variable
Give it a try and if deemed good enough please add it to the thrift
code.
Those changes are published under the apache public license, the same as
the thrift codebase.
The patch is generated with
svn diff -x -u > patch.888520
against revision 888520 of the thrift svn code.
