To date, thrift has always behaved session-less, i.e. there's no way to
correlate information between two API calls and know they are from the same
"client". This is quite limiting in terms of interface design.

Limiting? That's not the case. We store our correlation as so called SessionID
that the calls carry around. Its just one item of not too much data and it
works like a charm. Correlating calls is (at least) one level above Thrift, and
not having it built-in is by no means limiting. What would really be limiting:
If Thrift would force me to use it. With the current stateless design I have
all the flexibility in the world. I can make it state-aware if I need to, but I
don't have to.

> Key: THRIFT-3979
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3979
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Story
> Components: Wish List
> Affects Versions: 0.9.3
> Reporter: Xiaoshuang LU
>
> Sometimes, customers wanna put some options (username, password, id, etc.) in
> each request and response. And these options ought to be transparent for
> applications.
> Unfortunately, thrift protocol does not have good extensibility for extra
> functionalities. I would like to propose the following solution to address
> this issue.
> 1. TMessage adds a new field called "options"
> 2. customers set "options"
> 3. TExtendedBinaryProtocol writes "options" when "writeMessageBegin" invoked
> 4. TExtendedBinaryProtocol reads "options" when "readMessageBegin" invoked
