tokcum commented on THRIFT-5542:
--------------------------------
Hey, I'm back and hopefully with enough Rust knowledge this time to implement
this.
Reviewing the approach thrift took to support different types of transports, e.
g. TCP sockets, Unix Domain Sockets and others, I think any new transport
requires among other implementation details an implementation of TIoChannel
which "Identifies a splittable bidirectional I/O channel used to send and
receive bytes." (quote from src/transport/mod.rs).
Keeping this in mind, I reviewed the available libraries supporting Windows
Named Pipes. I found two candidates:
# tokio
# miow
Regarding tokio, I think it is not a good fit for thrift because it is async
and thrift is not.
Referring to mio, the offered types neither support to split them in a read and
write half, nor do they implement Clone which would allow me to implement the
split myself as I did with UnixStream. Miow also states in its README that it
is actually unmaintained.
I took the first steps to implement my own lib to support Windows Named Pipes
in a way which would allow me to nicely integrate it with thrift. I'm not sure
if the thrift project would accept this as a dependency for thrift.
So, where to go from here? Are there other options I could look into? Any
advice appreciated. Thank you.
[~jensg] and [~allengeorge], it would be great if you could provide some
feedback.
