Summary

Apache Thrift is a software framework for scalable cross-language services development. It combines a software stack with a code generation engine to build services that work efficiently and seamlessly between many programming languages. A language-neutral IDL is used to generate functioning client libraries and server-side handling frameworks.

For More Information

See the Apache Thrift Web Site for more information.

Using Thrift with Perl

Thrift requires Perl >= 5.6.0

Unexpected exceptions in a service handler are converted to TApplicationException with type INTERNAL ERROR and the string of the exception is delivered as the message.

On the client side, exceptions are thrown with die, so be sure to wrap eval{} statments around any code that contains exceptions.

Please see tutoral and test dirs for examples.

The Perl ForkingServer ignores SIGCHLD allowing the forks to be reaped by the operating system naturally when they exit. This means one cannot use a custom SIGCHLD handler in the consuming perl implementation that calls serve(). It is acceptable to use a custom SIGCHLD handler within a thrift handler implementation as the ForkingServer resets the forked child process to use default signal handling.
