This sounds reasonable. I assume you're sending it through a method? What do
you mean by "intercepted" by your custom processor? Another option is:
service DataService {
async void sendData(1: binary data)
}
There is a 1st-class binary type.
The other option if you really just want to send barebones data is to just use
the TTransport interface directly. You can just use TSocket and
TFramed/BufferedTransport to get your data. I'm not sure there's much benefit
to having a Processor on top if all you're doing is just yanking the underyling
stream data out of it. In that case it sounds like you're only really
leveraging the transport layer.

Subject: Transferring Binary Data using Thrift
Hi,
We are using thrift for our project and it seems pretty neat in many ways.
Thanks.
I have a question related to its usage to transfer binary data :
I need to send some binary data from client to server and I thought it to be
better to use thrift services consistently rather than creating another data
channel. To that end, at the moment, I created data() service which is being
intercepted by my custom processor that decorates a thrift library processor to
get the data out (similarly the data is being sent by a decorated client).
I am wondering if there is any other known way to transfer binary data using
thrift.
Cheers,
Milton
