Roger Meier commented on THRIFT-1766: ------------------------------------- I think we should create a dedicated base type *binary* instead of adding such fields. see http://thrift.apache.org/docs/types/ > [Ruby] Provide support for binary types > --------------------------------------- > > Key: THRIFT-1766 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1766 > Project: Thrift > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Ruby - Library > Affects Versions: 0.9 > Reporter: Nathan Beyer > Attachments: THRIFT-1766-provide-support-for-binary-types.patch > > > The Ruby library didn't provide explicit support for 'binary' types, which > sort of worked on Ruby 1.8.7 and with Thrift 0.8, but it doesn't work with > Ruby 1.9.3 and the encoding changes that were included with Thrift 0.9. > This issue is intended to provide first class support for the 'binary' type. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
