Programmer's Guide to Apache Thrift

Programmer's Guide to Apache Thrift provides comprehensive coverage of the Apache Thrift framework along with a developer's-eye view of modern distributed application architecture.

About the Technology

Thrift-based distributed software systems are, built out of communicating components that use different languages, protocols, and message types. Sitting between them is Thrift, which handles data serialization, transport, and service implementation. Thrift supports many client and server environments and a host of languages ranging from PHP to JavaScript, and from C++ to Go.

What's inside
• Complete coverage of Thrift's IDL
• Building and serializing complex user-defined types
• Plug-in protocols, transports, and data compression
