Bryan Duxbury commented on THRIFT-409:
--------------------------------------

For the IDL portion, I think we should do:

{code}
union <union name> {
  <field id>: <type> <field name> <optional line ender>
}
{code}

An example would look like:

{code}
union MyUnion {
  1: string a_string;
  2: i32 an_i32;
}
{code}

> It would be very helpful to have a "union" construct in Thrift. Let's decide 
> on the design and then break up into sub-issues to add this feature.
