Jens Geyer commented on THRIFT-3979:
------------------------------------
Yeah, there are a lot of possible scenarios and I really doubt that we can
prove the one-fits-all solution. Thrift to my understanding is a toolkit, that
provides a bunch of options, but otherwise tries to get out of the way as much
as possible.
> offer TExtendedBinaryProtocol for customers

> 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
> Assignee: Jens Geyer
>
> Sometimes, customers wanna put some options (whatever customers want) 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
