Yes, we do have a thrift interface being developed (hopefully push out
this week.) However, since the thrift generator current doesn't have
good native iteration support, we'll have to write wrappers around it.
For example, in order to support efficient (both space and time wise)
scanning, we have a thrift interface: list<Cell> next(scanner); If you
use the interface directly the code will look verbose and unidiomatic
in respective languages. The ruby wrapper will support things like
client.select(table, [c1, c2], {row => [low, high]) { |cell|
deal_with(cell) }. Similar wrappers need to be done for other
languages including Erlang, which I'm not very familiar with. The
first push of thrift interface will only have 'nice' ruby wrapper,
since that's what our front end uses. We definitely welcome
contribution for other languages.
I intend to propose a feature/patch to generate native iteration
constructs from the thrift generator to the thrift project based on
the experience.
