Hello.
Can you tell me please if Thrift is good for sending large files in LAN? If so, can you point me to some examples? I have a server written in Erlang and a client written in Python. Beside of simple communication protocol which Thrift is perfectly good for, server also needs to send large (up to several gigabytes: 50Mb..5Gb) files to the client and to get same large files back. The process must be reliable (we must detect network failures and send file again) and resumable (if network connection drops, it would be nice to continue sending from the point where is was stopped, like FTP). The latter requirement is not that important, actually. The communication is expected to happen in LAN. Will Thrift implementation properly handle such a large binary messages? Thanks in advance, Yuri
