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
