Wade Simmons 0dd35a6c4b fix global leaks and copy-paste errors
- TCompactProtocol.prototype.writeBool not referencing `booleanField_`
  on `this` correctly. Also using `NULL` instead of `null`.

- TCompactProtocol.prototype.writeVarint64 had a typo for TProtocolException

- TCompactProtocol.prototype.readMapBegin had a typo between `kvtype` and
 `kvType`

- createMultiplexServer leaked a global var `processStatus`

- TFramedTransport had a line that was accidently copy pasted, leading
  to a global leak of `frameLeft`. (I created the patch the introduced
  this copy paste error in Thrift-1353, so I can confirm it was
  a mistake).

- createWebServer tried to check a non-existent var `route` and leaked
  a global `result`

Install

npm install thrift 

Thrift Compiler

You can compile IDL sources for Node.js with the following command:

thrift --gen js:node thrift_file

Cassandra Client Example:

Here is a Cassandra example:

var thrift = require('thrift'),
    Cassandra = require('./gen-nodejs/Cassandra')
    ttypes = require('./gen-nodejs/cassandra_types');

var connection = thrift.createConnection("localhost", 9160),
    client = thrift.createClient(Cassandra, connection);

connection.on('error', function(err) {
  console.error(err);
});

client.get_slice("Keyspace", "key", new ttypes.ColumnParent({column_family: "ExampleCF"}), new ttypes.SlicePredicate({slice_range: new ttypes.SliceRange({start: '', finish: ''})}), ttypes.ConsistencyLevel.ONE, function(err, data) {
  if (err) {
    // handle err
  } else {
    // data == [ttypes.ColumnOrSuperColumn, ...]
  }
  connection.end();
});

Int64

Since JavaScript represents all numbers as doubles, int64 values cannot be accurately represented naturally. To solve this, int64 values in responses will be wrapped with Thirft.Int64 objects. The Int64 implementation used is broofa/node-int64.
