Noble Paul updated THRIFT-122:
------------------------------
Description:
Currently thrift only supports homogeneous collections . But , that is very
restrictive for many languages which allows heterogeneous collections. It does
not have to be supported in BinaryProtocol The new DenseProtocol may add
support for this
implementation details
the IDL can allow syntax
{code}
list<?>
set<?>
map<?,?>
map<?,the-type>
map<the-type,?>
{code}
While writing down data use a type modifier to say whether key (1), value(2) or
both(3) are wild cards
for a List/Set use a type modifier 1 to specify that it is heterogeneous
If it is a homogeneous collection do it the way it is done now.
Or else
add type information just before the data. So it adds an extra byte/element
