Are you asking about a C++ client? Why can't you apply the same technique as you're doing with Python?
If you get a TTransportException, the right thing to do is to close and discard the transport as it may no longer be in a reliable state, then try again if so desired (ideally with some logic to prevent infinite retry loops in a non-intermittent failure scenario). Another way of asking, what is the hassle you're encountering that seems specific to C++? ________________________________________ From: Matthew Chambers [[email protected]] Sent: Monday, June 18, 2012 2:55 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Thrift C++ question Anyone have a good way to retry an RPC on another connection if the client side service object fails with a TTransportException or socket error? In python its easy, I just bring up a new TSocket, Protocol, Transport, and Service on a different node and call the same function with the same args. Users never even know a server just died or was restarted. With C++ its proving to be more of a hassle. -Matt
