Dev, After running into difficulties getting Thrift to build on my laptop I started exploring the possibility of using Docker images to run Thrift. I’ve created a pull request of my changes here: https://github.com/apache/airavata/pull/112
One question: I opted to just switch the scripts to using Docker, but I thought perhaps that could be a command line flag whether to use Docker or not. My hope is that using Docker images to run Thrift will be a lot more convenient than requiring developers to install Thrift. Your feedback is welcome. Thanks, Marcus
