Bryan Duxbury commented on THRIFT-906:
--------------------------------------
For users updating to a newer version of Thrift, what kind of changes will the
necessitate?
> Improve type mappings
> ---------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-906
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-906
> Project: Thrift

> The current haskell type mappings are awkward and error prone to work with:
> binary -> String
> string -> String
> byte -> Int
> i16 -> Int
> i32 -> Int
> i64 -> Int
> This patch updates the mappings to the canonical types of the correct length
> in Haskell:
> binary -> Data.ByteString.Lazy.ByteString
> string -> String
> byte -> Data.Word.Word8
> i16 -> Data.Int.Int16
> i32 -> Data.Int.Int32
> i64 -> Data.Int.Int64
> THIS BREAKS EXISTING CODE. It is, however, very arguably broken already.
> For convenience of patching, this patch is a superset of THRIFT-743.
> Thoughts?
