Wayne Rasmuss commented on THRIFT-2287:
---------------------------------------
I was envisioning a deep copy of a directory with a bunch of "little" files
that add up to a lot of data. Like rsync or robocopy.
> Allow services as parameters
> ----------------------------

> Key: THRIFT-2287
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2287
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Brainstorming
> Reporter: Wayne Rasmuss
> Priority: Minor
>
> What about allowing services as parameters to thrift methods? This would be
> useful for returning interim results, logging and probably other use cases.
> At first I thought, nah that can't work, but I thought about it more and it
> seems maybe it could. Though I know little of Thrift's internals.
> When the service parameter was serialized only its connection information
> would be sent. Additional data may need to be provided to the service (true
> host name etc.) That would be fine with me.
> It seems like both sides should have most of the features they need for this.
> It would probably be a requirement that the service was started, bound etc
> before being passed a a parameter.
