David Jeske commented on THRIFT-1:
----------------------------------
To clarify, it looks like Thrift has a non-blocking I/O implementations in most
languages, but the only language that supports an async handler interface for
client or server is Python-Twisted. (an async handler interface requires return
values provided via callback, so the handler can let go of the request-thread
without producing a result)
Eric Bernhardsson did some work on a C++ async handler interface which hasn't
been incorporated yet.

One route for Java-async-handlers is to build on Netty, a twisted-like
event-driven framework for Java. Another route is to avoid dependencies on a
framework and refactor the java-core to handle async return results and add the
ability for the stubs to generate 'return result callbacks' that decouple the
handler-thread from the return result.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Environment: All
> Reporter: David Reiss

> In addition, all clients have the same requirement, but workarounds are
> easier.
