Sounds good. The libraries are intended to implement such things in the way that is the most idiomatic and efficient for the language in question. The general scheme of things in Thrift shall be met, but if a more idiomatic TGoRoutineServer differs too much from the traditional threaded server hence the name would be misleading, IMHO this is the way to go (pun intended). If, however, a goroutine is more or less equivalent to a threaded server, except for the fact that it ises goroutines instead of threads, we should stock with the Thrift name to make it easier to port things across languages. ________________________________ Von: Dvir Volk Gesendet: 11.07.2013 21:43 An: user@thrift.apache.org Betreff: Re: The state of Go support in thrift
Thanks Jens. I'm not sure this mailing list is the place - but what do you think of a server that takes advantage of Go's concurrency without complicating things with TFramedTransport and the TNonBlocking pattern? Just something called, say TConcurrentServer or TGoroutineServer - more or less like a go version of TThreadedServer: It spawns a goroutine per connection, which is the recommended pattern of handling connection concurrency in Go anyway. It won't take much effort to extend TSimpleServer to support this - in fact I did a quick & dirty version of it in a couple of minutes today, and it worked fine. I can try and create such a server, that would be the start of something people could easily use.
