---------------------------------------------------------------
THRIFT-3143 does not fix the int64 support (we could have done it, but did not
want to mix the two issues).
There won't be a protocol level change, just the generated code is incorrect
and would have to be corrected. Yes, the idea is to use the {{node-int64}}
package.

> JS code generators not handling int64 type properly for constants and for

>
> Key: THRIFT-4675
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4675
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: JavaScript - Compiler
> Affects Versions: 0.11.0
> Reporter: Buğra Gedik
> Priority: Major
>
> The code generated for JS constants involving the {{int64}} Thrift type do
> not rely on the {{Int64}} JS type (from the {{node-int64}} package Thrift
> uses for handling 64-bit integers).
> For example, consider the following Thrift constant definitions:
> {code}
> const i64 MAX_INT64 = 9223372036854775807
> const i64 SMALL_INT64 = 15
> {code}
> This results in generating the following code:
> For node.js:
> {code}
> ttypes.MAX_INT64 = 9223372036854775807;
> ttypes.SMALL_INT64 = 15;
> {code}
> For the browser:
> {code}
> MAX_INT64 = 9223372036854775807;
> SMALL_INT64 = 15;
> {code}
> Since the JS {{number}} type cannot natively represent integers that do not
> fit into a double precision floating point, this will result in lost
> precision for certain values. E.g., printing {{MAX_INT64}} would produce
> {{922337203685477}}*{{6000}}*.
> The correct output should be (showing for node.js):
> {code}
> ttypes.MAX_INT64 = new Int64(''7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF'');
> ttypes.SMALL_INT64 = new Int64(15);
> {code}
> Besides this, none of the Typescript type bindings ({{.d.ts}} files) contain
> the types for int64 types. This includes constants, types, and service method
> parameters.
> Note that fixing this may break some of the existing code. In my mind, this
> is how it should work by default, but I don't know the policy in Thrift
> regarding backward compatibility. It could also be added as an option.
