Also will note that part of the reason TBufferedTransport isn't generally necessary in Java is that by default your Java VM will typically already have a stage of output buffering on its Socket implementation. Wrapping that up in a TBufferedTransport would just burn up CPU/memory to no advantage.
The buffering/streaming that the white paper describes isn't actually beneficial in practice for typical moderate-payload RPC use cases, which is what most people use Thrift for. The goal there was to not make it *impossible* to do those things with Thrift, but if you're just issuing basic RPCs, the framed transport makes things a lot easier to debug as each payload is sent over the wire with a frame header containing its size. -----Original Message----- From: Shrinath M [mailto:shrinat...@webyog.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 23, 2011 9:21 PM To: user@thrift.apache.org Cc: Bryan Duxbury Subject: Re: How to use TBufferedTransport in Java ? Why would you recommend Framed Transport ? Isn't that the opposite to whats described in section 4.2 in the white paper ? And can you show me an example usage of TIOStreamTransport on Java ? I didn't see one proper example anywhere... I've doubts like should we create a socket ? Can we have multiple buffers accessing the different streams like we can do on Framed Transport ?
