+Apache Thrift is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), 
+sponsored by the Incubator PMC. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects 
+until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision 
+making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects.
+While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability 
+of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.

+      source, and configuration files.
+
+      "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
+      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
+      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
+      and conversions to other media types.
+
+      "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
+      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
+      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
+      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
+      separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
+      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+
+      "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
+      the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
+      to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
+      submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
+      or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
+      the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"

+      designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
+
+      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+      subsequently incorporated within the Work.
+
+   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
+      where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+
+   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+   APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.

+Introduction
+============
+
+Thrift is a lightweight, language-independent software stack with an
+associated code generation mechanism for RPC. Thrift provides clean
+abstractions for data transport, data serialization, and application
+level processing. The code generation system takes a simple definition
+language as its input and generates code across programming languages that
+uses the abstracted stack to build interoperable RPC clients and servers.
+
+Thrift is specifically designed to support non-atomic version changes
+across client and server code.
+
+For more details on Thrift's design and implementation, take a gander at
+the Thrift whitepaper included in this distribution or at the README files
+in your particular subdirectory of interest.

+Requirements
+============
+
+See http://wiki.apache.org/thrift/ThriftRequirements for
+an up-to-date list of build requirements.
+
+Resources
+=========
+
+More information about Thrift can be obtained on the Thrift webpage at:
+
+     http://incubator.apache.org/thrift
+
+Acknowledgments
+===============
+
+Thrift was inspired by pillar, a lightweight RPC tool written by Adam D'Angelo,
+and also by Google's protocol buffers.
+
+Installation
+============
+
+If you are building from the first time out of the source repository, you will
+need to generate the configure scripts.  (This is not necessary if you
+downloaded a tarball.)  From the top directory, do:
+
+	./bootstrap.sh
+
+Once the configure scripts are generated, thrift can be configured.
+From the top directory, do:
+
+	./configure
+
+You may need to specify the location of the boost files explicitly.
+If you installed boost in /usr/local, you would run configure as follows:
+
+	./configure --with-boost=/usr/local
+
+Note that by default the thrift C++ library is typically built with debugging
+symbols included. If you want to customize these options you should use the
+CXXFLAGS option in configure, as such:
+
+        ./configure CXXFLAGS='-g -O2'
+        ./configure CFLAGS='-g -O2'
+        ./configure CPPFLAGS='-DDEBUG_MY_FEATURE'
+
+Run ./configure --help to see other configuration options
+
+Please be aware that the Python library will ignore the --prefix option
+and just install wherever Python's distutils puts it (usually along
+the lines of /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages/).  If you need to control
+where the Python modules are installed, set the PY_PREFIX variable.
+(DESTDIR is respected for Python and C++.)
+
+Make thrift:
+
+	make
+
+From the top directory, become superuser and do:
+
+	make install
+
+Note that some language packages must be installed manually using build tools
+better suited to those languages (at the time of this writing, this applies
+to Java, Ruby, PHP).
+
+Look for the README file in the lib/<language>/ folder for more details on the
+installation of each language library package.

+#
+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_BOOST_BASE([MINIMUM-VERSION])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   Test for the Boost C++ libraries of a particular version (or newer)
+#
+#   If no path to the installed boost library is given the macro
+#   searchs under /usr, /usr/local, /opt and /opt/local and evaluates
+#   the $BOOST_ROOT environment variable. Further documentation is
+#   available at <http://randspringer.de/boost/index.html>.
+#
+#   This macro calls:
+#
+#     AC_SUBST(BOOST_CPPFLAGS) / AC_SUBST(BOOST_LDFLAGS)
+#
+#   And sets:
+#
+#     HAVE_BOOST
+#

+dnl
+dnl Test for the libz library of a particular version (or newer).
+dnl
+dnl If no path to the installed zlib is given, the macro will first try
+dnl using no -I or -L flags, then searches under /usr, /usr/local, /opt,
+dnl and /opt/zlib.
+dnl If these all fail, it will try the $ZLIB_ROOT environment variable.
+dnl
+dnl This macro calls:
+dnl   AC_SUBST(ZLIB_CPPFLAGS)
+dnl   AC_SUBST(ZLIB_LDFLAGS)
+dnl   AC_SUBST(ZLIB_LIBS)
+dnl
+dnl And (if zlib is found):
+dnl   AC_DEFINE(HAVE_ZLIB)
+dnl
+dnl It also leaves the shell variables "success" and "ax_have_zlib"
+dnl set to "yes" or "no".
+dnl
+dnl NOTE: This macro does not currently work for cross-compiling,
+dnl       but it can be easily modified to allow it.  (grep "cross").

+
+Thrift Code Compiler
+====================
+
+This compiler takes thrift files as input and generates output code across
+various programming languages. To build and install it, do this:
+
+  ./bootstrap.sh
+  ./configure
+  make
+  sudo make install
+
+It requires some form of LEX and YACC to be installed, which should be
+picked up by autoconf.
+
+Not much else to report here. You'll have to look at the code to get your
+questions answered. Or just run the executable after you build and take
+a look at the usage message.

+/*
+  Independent implementation of MD5 (RFC 1321).
+
+  This code implements the MD5 Algorithm defined in RFC 1321, whose
+  text is available at
+	http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1321.txt
+  The code is derived from the text of the RFC, including the test suite
+  (section A.5) but excluding the rest of Appendix A.  It does not include
+  any code or documentation that is identified in the RFC as being
+  copyrighted.
+
+  The original and principal author of md5.c is L. Peter Deutsch
+  <ghost@aladdin.com>.  Other authors are noted in the change history
+  that follows (in reverse chronological order):
+
+  2002-04-13 lpd Clarified derivation from RFC 1321; now handles byte order
+	either statically or dynamically; added missing #include <string.h>
+	in library.
+  2002-03-11 lpd Corrected argument list for main(), and added int return
+	type, in test program and T value program.
+  2002-02-21 lpd Added missing #include <stdio.h> in test program.
+  2000-07-03 lpd Patched to eliminate warnings about "constant is
+	unsigned in ANSI C, signed in traditional"; made test program
+	self-checking.
+  1999-11-04 lpd Edited comments slightly for automatic TOC extraction.
+  1999-10-18 lpd Fixed typo in header comment (ansi2knr rather than md5).
+  1999-05-03 lpd Original version.

+Project FB303: The Facebook Bassline
+------------------------------------
+
+* Curious about the 303? *
+http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_TB-303
+
+* Why the name? *
+The TB303 makes bass lines.
+.Bass is what lies underneath any strong tune.
+..fb303 is the shared root of all thrift services.
+...fb303 => FacebookBase303.
+
+* How do I use this? *
+Take a look at the examples to see how your backend project can
+and should inherit from this service.
+
+* What does it provide? *
+A standard interface to monitoring, dynamic options and configuration,
+uptime reports, activity, etc.
+
+* I want more. *
+Think carefully first about whether the functionality you are going to add
+belongs here or in your application. If it can be abstracted and is generally
+useful, then it probably belongs somewhere in the fb303 tree. Keep in mind,
+not every product has to use ALL the functionality of fb303, but every product
+CANNOT use functionality that is NOT in fb303.
+
+* Is this open source? *
+Yes. fb303 is distributed under the Thrift Software License. See the
+LICENSE file for more details.
+
+* Installation *
+fb303 is configured/built/installed similar to Thrift.  See the README
+in the Thrift root directory for more information.
+
+* Who wrote this README? *

+/**
+ * ServiceTracker is a utility class for logging and timing service
+ * calls to a fb303 Thrift server.  Currently, ServiceTracker offers
+ * the following features:
+ *
+ *   . Logging of service method start, end (and duration), and
+ *     optional steps in between.
+ *
+ *   . Automatic check of server status via fb303::getStatus()
+ *     with a ServiceException thrown if server not alive
+ *     (at method start).
+ *
+ *   . A periodic logged checkpoint reporting lifetime time, lifetime
+ *     service count, and per-method statistics since the last checkpoint
+ *     time (at method finish).
+ *
+ *   . Export of fb303 counters for lifetime and checkpoint statistics
+ *     (at method finish).
+ *
+ *   . For TThreadPoolServers, a logged warning when all server threads
+ *     are busy (at method start).  (Must call setThreadManager() after
+ *     ServiceTracker instantiation for this feature to be enabled.)
+ *
+ * Individual features may be enabled or disabled by arguments to the
+ * constructor.  The constructor also accepts a pointer to a logging
+ * method -- if no pointer is passed, the tracker will log to stdout.
+ *
+ * ServiceTracker defines private methods for service start, finish,
+ * and step, which are designed to be accessed by instantiating a
+ * friend ServiceMethod object, as in the following example:
+ *
+ *    #include <ServiceTracker.h>
+ *    class MyServiceHandler : virtual public MyServiceIf,
+ *                             public facebook::fb303::FacebookBase
+ *    {
+ *    public:
+ *      MyServiceHandler::MyServiceHandler() : mServiceTracker(this) {}
+ *      void MyServiceHandler::myServiceMethod(int userId) {
+ *        // note: Instantiating a ServiceMethod object starts a timer
+ *        // and tells the ServiceTracker to log the start.  Might throw
+ *        // a ServiceException.

+		  GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+		       Version 2.1, February 1999
+
+ Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+ 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL.  It also counts
+ as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence
+ the version number 2.1.]
+
+			    Preamble
+
+  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
+freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
+Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
+free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
+
+  This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
+specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
+Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it.  You
+can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
+this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
+strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.
+
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,
+not price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
+you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
+for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
+it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of
+it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
+these things.
+
+  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
+distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
+rights.  These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
+you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
+
+  For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
+or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
+you.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
+code.  If you link other code with the library, you must provide
+complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
+with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling
+it.  And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
+
+  We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
+library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
+permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
+
+  To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
+there is no warranty for the free library.  Also, if the library is
+modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know
+that what they have is not the original version, so that the original
+author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be
+introduced by others.
+
+  Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
+any free program.  We wish to make sure that a company cannot
+effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
+restrictive license from a patent holder.  Therefore, we insist that
+any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
+consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
+
+  Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
+ordinary GNU General Public License.  This license, the GNU Lesser
+General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
+is quite different from the ordinary General Public License.  We use
+this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
+libraries into non-free programs.
+
+  When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using
+a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
+combined work, a derivative of the original library.  The ordinary
+General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
+entire combination fits its criteria of freedom.  The Lesser General
+Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
+the library.
+
+  We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
+does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
+Public License.  It also provides other free software developers Less
+of an advantage over competing non-free programs.  These disadvantages
+are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
+libraries.  However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
+special circumstances.
+
+  For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
+encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes
+a de-facto standard.  To achieve this, non-free programs must be
+allowed to use the library.  A more frequent case is that a free
+library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries.  In this
+case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
+software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
+
+  In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
+programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
+free software.  For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
+non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
+operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
+system.
+
+  Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
+users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
+linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
+that program using a modified version of the Library.
+
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.  Pay close attention to the difference between a
+"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library".  The
+former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
+be combined with the library in order to run.
+
+		  GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+
+  0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other
+program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or
+other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of
+this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License").
+Each licensee is addressed as "you".
+
+  A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
+prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
+(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
+
+  The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
+which has been distributed under these terms.  A "work based on the
+Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
+copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
+portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
+straightforwardly into another language.  (Hereinafter, translation is
+included without limitation in the term "modification".)
+
+  "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
+making modifications to it.  For a library, complete source code means
+all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
+interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation
+and installation of the library.
+
+  Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
+covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
+running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
+such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
+on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
+writing it).  Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
+and what the program that uses the Library does.
+  
+  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
+complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
+you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
+appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
+all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
+warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
+Library.
+
+  You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
+and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
+fee.
+
+  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
+of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
+distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
+above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
+
+    b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
+    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
+
+    c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
+    charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
+
+    d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
+    table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
+    the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
+    is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
+    in the event an application does not supply such function or
+    table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
+    its purpose remains meaningful.
+
+    (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
+    a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
+    application.  Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
+    application-supplied function or table used by this function must
+    be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
+    root function must still compute square roots.)
+
+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
+and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
+sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
+on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
+this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
+entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
+it.
+
+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
+collective works based on the Library.
+
+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
+with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
+a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
+the scope of this License.
+
+  3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
+License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library.  To do
+this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
+that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
+instead of to this License.  (If a newer version than version 2 of the
+ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
+that version instead if you wish.)  Do not make any other change in
+these notices.
+
+  Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
+that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
+subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
+
+  This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
+the Library into a program that is not a library.
+
+  4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
+derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
+under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
+it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
+must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
+medium customarily used for software interchange.
+
+  If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
+from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
+source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
+distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
+compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
+
+  5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
+Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
+linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library".  Such a
+work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
+therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
+
+  However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
+creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
+contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
+library".  The executable is therefore covered by this License.
+Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
+
+  When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
+that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
+derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
+Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
+linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library.  The
+threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
+
+  If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
+structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
+functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
+file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
+work.  (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
+Library will still fall under Section 6.)
+
+  Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
+distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
+Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
+whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
+
+  6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or
+link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
+work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
+under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
+modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
+engineering for debugging such modifications.
+
+  You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
+Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
+this License.  You must supply a copy of this License.  If the work
+during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
+copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
+directing the user to the copy of this License.  Also, you must do one
+of these things:
+
+    a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
+    machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
+    changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
+    Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
+    with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
+    uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
+    user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
+    executable containing the modified Library.  (It is understood
+    that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
+    Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
+    to use the modified definitions.)
+
+    b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
+    Library.  A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a
+    copy of the library already present on the user's computer system,
+    rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2)
+    will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if
+    the user installs one, as long as the modified version is
+    interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
+
+    c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
+    least three years, to give the same user the materials
+    specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
+    than the cost of performing this distribution.
+
+    d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
+    from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
+    specified materials from the same place.
+
+    e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
+    materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
+
+  For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
+Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
+reproducing the executable from it.  However, as a special exception,
+the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is
+normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
+components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
+which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
+the executable.
+
+  It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
+restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
+accompany the operating system.  Such a contradiction means you cannot
+use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
+distribute.
+
+  7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
+Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
+facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
+library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
+the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
+permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
+
+    a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
+    based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
+    facilities.  This must be distributed under the terms of the
+    Sections above.
+
+    b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
+    that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
+    where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
+
+  8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
+the Library except as expressly provided under this License.  Any
+attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
+distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
+rights under this License.  However, parties who have received copies,
+or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
+terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
+
+  9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
+signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
+distribute the Library or its derivative works.  These actions are
+prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
+modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
+Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
+all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
+the Library or works based on it.
+
+  10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
+Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
+original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
+subject to these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
+restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
+You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with
+this License.
+
+  11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
+conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
+distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
+may not distribute the Library at all.  For example, if a patent
+license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
+all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
+the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
+refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
+
+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any

+and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
+
+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
+patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
+such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
+integrity of the free software distribution system which is
+implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
+generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
+through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
+to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
+impose that choice.
+
+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
+be a consequence of the rest of this License.
+
+  12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
+certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
+original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add
+an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
+so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
+excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
+written in the body of this License.
+
+  13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
+versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time.
+Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
+but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
+
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Library
+specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
+"any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
+conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
+the Free Software Foundation.  If the Library does not specify a

+write to the author to ask for permission.  For software which is
+copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
+Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this.  Our
+decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
+of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing

+\begin{abstract}
+Thrift is a software library and set of code-generation tools developed at
+Facebook to expedite development and implementation of efficient and scalable
+backend services. Its primary goal is to enable efficient and reliable
+communication across programming languages by abstracting the portions of each
+language that tend to require the most customization into a common library
+that is implemented in each language. Specifically, Thrift allows developers to
+define datatypes and service interfaces in a single language-neutral file
+and generate all the necessary code to build RPC clients and servers.
+
+This paper details the motivations and design choices we made in Thrift, as
+well as some of the more interesting implementation details. It is not
+intended to be taken as research, but rather it is an exposition on what we did
+and why.

+\section{Introduction}
+As Facebook's traffic and network structure have scaled, the resource
+demands of many operations on the site (i.e. search,
+ad selection and delivery, event logging) have presented technical requirements
+drastically outside the scope of the LAMP framework. In our implementation of
+these services, various programming languages have been selected to
+optimize for the right combination of performance, ease and speed of
+development, availability of existing libraries, etc. By and large,
+Facebook's engineering culture has tended towards choosing the best
+tools and implementations available over standardizing on any one
+programming language and begrudgingly accepting its inherent limitations.
+
+Given this design choice, we were presented with the challenge of building
+a transparent, high-performance bridge across many programming languages.
+We found that most available solutions were either too limited, did not offer
+sufficient datatype freedom, or suffered from subpar performance.
+\footnote{See Appendix A for a discussion of alternative systems.}
+
+The solution that we have implemented combines a language-neutral software
+stack implemented across numerous programming languages and an associated code
+generation engine that transforms a simple interface and data definition
+language into client and server remote procedure call libraries.
+Choosing static code generation over a dynamic system allows us to create
+validated code that can be run without the need for
+any advanced introspective run-time type checking. It is also designed to
+be as simple as possible for the developer, who can typically define all
+the necessary data structures and interfaces for a complex service in a single
+short file.
+
+Surprised that a robust open solution to these relatively common problems
+did not yet exist, we committed early on to making the Thrift implementation
+open source.
+
+In evaluating the challenges of cross-language interaction in a networked
+environment, some key components were identified:
+
+\textit{Types.} A common type system must exist across programming languages
+without requiring that the application developer use custom Thrift datatypes
+or write their own serialization code. That is,
+a C++ programmer should be able to transparently exchange a strongly typed
+STL map for a dynamic Python dictionary. Neither
+programmer should be forced to write any code below the application layer
+to achieve this. Section 2 details the Thrift type system.
+
+\textit{Transport.} Each language must have a common interface to
+bidirectional raw data transport. The specifics of how a given
+transport is implemented should not matter to the service developer.
+The same application code should be able to run against TCP stream sockets,
+raw data in memory, or files on disk. Section 3 details the Thrift Transport
+layer.
+
+\textit{Protocol.} Datatypes must have some way of using the Transport
+layer to encode and decode themselves. Again, the application
+developer need not be concerned by this layer. Whether the service uses
+an XML or binary protocol is immaterial to the application code.
+All that matters is that the data can be read and written in a consistent,
+deterministic matter. Section 4 details the Thrift Protocol layer.
+
+\textit{Versioning.} For robust services, the involved datatypes must
+provide a mechanism for versioning themselves. Specifically,
+it should be possible to add or remove fields in an object or alter the
+argument list of a function without any interruption in service (or,
+worse yet, nasty segmentation faults). Section 5 details Thrift's versioning
+system.
+
+\textit{Processors.} Finally, we generate code capable of processing data
+streams to accomplish remote procedure calls. Section 6 details the generated
+code and TProcessor paradigm.
+
+Section 7 discusses implementation details, and Section 8 describes
+our conclusions.
+
+\section{Types}
+
+The goal of the Thrift type system is to enable programmers to develop using
+completely natively defined types, no matter what programming language they
+use. By design, the Thrift type system does not introduce any special dynamic
+types or wrapper objects. It also does not require that the developer write
+any code for object serialization or transport. The Thrift IDL (Interface
+Definition Language) file is
+logically a way for developers to annotate their data structures with the
+minimal amount of extra information necessary to tell a code generator
+how to safely transport the objects across languages.
+
+\subsection{Base Types}
+
+The type system rests upon a few base types. In considering which types to
+support, we aimed for clarity and simplicity over abundance, focusing
+on the key types available in all programming languages, ommitting any
+niche types available only in specific languages.
+
+The base types supported by Thrift are:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \texttt{bool} A boolean value, true or false
+\item \texttt{byte} A signed byte
+\item \texttt{i16} A 16-bit signed integer
+\item \texttt{i32} A 32-bit signed integer
+\item \texttt{i64} A 64-bit signed integer
+\item \texttt{double} A 64-bit floating point number
+\item \texttt{string} An encoding-agnostic text or binary string
+\item \texttt{binary} A byte array representation for blobs
+\end{itemize}
+
+Of particular note is the absence of unsigned integer types. Because these
+types have no direct translation to native primitive types in many languages,
+the advantages they afford are lost. Further, there is no way to prevent the
+application developer in a language like Python from assigning a negative value
+to an integer variable, leading to unpredictable behavior. From a design
+standpoint, we observed that unsigned integers were very rarely, if ever, used
+for arithmetic purposes, but in practice were much more often used as keys or
+identifiers. In this case, the sign is irrelevant. Signed integers serve this
+same purpose and can be safely cast to their unsigned counterparts (most
+commonly in C++) when absolutely necessary.
+
+\subsection{Structs}
+
+A Thrift struct defines a common object to be used across languages. A struct
+is essentially equivalent to a class in object oriented programming
+languages. A struct has a set of strongly typed fields, each with a unique
+name identifier. The basic syntax for defining a Thrift struct looks very
+similar to a C struct definition. Fields may be annotated with an integer field
+identifier (unique to the scope of that struct) and optional default values.
+Field identifiers will be automatically assigned if omitted, though they are
+strongly encouraged for versioning reasons discussed later.
+
+\subsection{Containers}
+
+Thrift containers are strongly typed containers that map to the most commonly
+used containers in common programming languages. They are annotated using
+the C++ template (or Java Generics) style. There are three types available:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \texttt{list<type>} An ordered list of elements. Translates directly into
+an STL \texttt{vector}, Java \texttt{ArrayList}, or native array in scripting languages. May
+contain duplicates.
+\item \texttt{set<type>} An unordered set of unique elements. Translates into
+an STL \texttt{set}, Java \texttt{HashSet}, \texttt{set} in Python, or native
+dictionary in PHP/Ruby.
+\item \texttt{map<type1,type2>} A map of strictly unique keys to values
+Translates into an STL \texttt{map}, Java \texttt{HashMap}, PHP associative
+array, or Python/Ruby dictionary.
+\end{itemize}
+
+While defaults are provided, the type mappings are not explicitly fixed. Custom
+code generator directives have been added to substitute custom types in
+destination languages (i.e.
+\texttt{hash\_map} or Google's sparse hash map can be used in C++). The
+only requirement is that the custom types support all the necessary iteration
+primitives. Container elements may be of any valid Thrift type, including other
+containers or structs.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+struct Example {
+  1:i32 number=10,
+  2:i64 bigNumber,
+  3:double decimals,
+  4:string name="thrifty"
+}\end{verbatim}
+
+In the target language, each definition generates a type with two methods,
+\texttt{read} and \texttt{write}, which perform serialization and transport
+of the objects using a Thrift TProtocol object.
+
+\subsection{Exceptions}
+
+Exceptions are syntactically and functionally equivalent to structs except
+that they are declared using the \texttt{exception} keyword instead of the
+\texttt{struct} keyword.
+
+The generated objects inherit from an exception base class as appropriate
+in each target programming language, in order to seamlessly
+integrate with native exception handling in any given
+language. Again, the design emphasis is on making the code familiar to the
+application developer.
+
+\subsection{Services}
+
+Services are defined using Thrift types. Definition of a service is
+semantically equivalent to defining an interface (or a pure virtual abstract
+class) in object oriented
+programming. The Thrift compiler generates fully functional client and
+server stubs that implement the interface. Services are defined as follows:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+service <name> {
+  <returntype> <name>(<arguments>)
+    [throws (<exceptions>)]
+  ...
+}\end{verbatim}
+
+An example:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+service StringCache {
+  void set(1:i32 key, 2:string value),
+  string get(1:i32 key) throws (1:KeyNotFound knf),
+  void delete(1:i32 key)
+}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Note that \texttt{void} is a valid type for a function return, in addition to
+all other defined Thrift types. Additionally, an \texttt{async} modifier
+keyword may be added to a \texttt{void} function, which will generate code that does
+not wait for a response from the server. Note that a pure \texttt{void}
+function will return a response to the client which guarantees that the
+operation has completed on the server side. With \texttt{async} method calls
+the client will only be guaranteed that the request succeeded at the
+transport layer. (In many transport scenarios this is inherently unreliable
+due to the Byzantine Generals' Problem. Therefore, application developers
+should take care only to use the async optimization in cases where dropped
+method calls are acceptable or the transport is known to be reliable.)
+
+Also of note is the fact that argument lists and exception lists for functions
+are implemented as Thrift structs. All three constructs are identical in both
+notation and behavior.
+
+\section{Transport}
+
+The transport layer is used by the generated code to facilitate data transfer.
+
+\subsection{Interface}
+
+A key design choice in the implementation of Thrift was to decouple the
+transport layer from the code generation layer. Though Thrift is typically
+used on top of the TCP/IP stack with streaming sockets as the base layer of
+communication, there was no compelling reason to build that constraint into
+the system. The performance tradeoff incurred by an abstracted I/O layer
+(roughly one virtual method lookup / function call per operation) was
+immaterial compared to the cost of actual I/O operations (typically invoking
+system calls).
+
+Fundamentally, generated Thrift code only needs to know how to read and
+write data. The origin and destination of the data are irrelevant; it may be a
+socket, a segment of shared memory, or a file on the local disk. The Thrift
+transport interface supports the following methods:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \texttt{open} Opens the tranpsort
+\item \texttt{close} Closes the tranport
+\item \texttt{isOpen} Indicates whether the transport is open
+\item \texttt{read} Reads from the transport
+\item \texttt{write} Writes to the transport
+\item \texttt{flush} Forces any pending writes
+\end{itemize}
+
+There are a few additional methods not documented here which are used to aid
+in batching reads and optionally signaling the completion of a read or
+write operation from the generated code.
+
+In addition to the above
+\texttt{TTransport} interface, there is a\\
+\texttt{TServerTransport} interface
+used to accept or create primitive transport objects. Its interface is as
+follows:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \texttt{open} Opens the transport
+\item \texttt{listen} Begins listening for connections
+\item \texttt{accept} Returns a new client transport
+\item \texttt{close} Closes the transport
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsection{Implementation}
+
+The transport interface is designed for simple implementation in any
+programming language. New transport mechanisms can be easily defined as needed
+by application developers.
+
+\subsubsection{TSocket}
+
+The \texttt{TSocket} class is implemented across all target languages. It
+provides a common, simple interface to a TCP/IP stream socket.
+
+\subsubsection{TFileTransport}
+
+The \texttt{TFileTransport} is an abstraction of an on-disk file to a data
+stream. It can be used to write out a set of incoming Thrift requests to a file
+on disk. The on-disk data can then be replayed from the log, either for
+post-processing or for reproduction and/or simulation of past events.
+
+\subsubsection{Utilities}
+
+The Transport interface is designed to support easy extension using common
+OOP techniques, such as composition. Some simple utilites include the
+\texttt{TBufferedTransport}, which buffers the writes and reads on an
+underlying transport, the \texttt{TFramedTransport}, which transmits data with frame
+size headers for chunking optimization or nonblocking operation, and the
+\texttt{TMemoryBuffer}, which allows reading and writing directly from the heap
+or stack memory owned by the process.
+
+\section{Protocol}
+
+A second major abstraction in Thrift is the separation of data structure from
+transport representation. Thrift enforces a certain messaging structure when
+transporting data, but it is agnostic to the protocol encoding in use. That is,
+it does not matter whether data is encoded as XML, human-readable ASCII, or a
+dense binary format as long as the data supports a fixed set of operations
+that allow it to be deterministically read and written by generated code.
+
+\subsection{Interface}
+
+The Thrift Protocol interface is very straightforward. It fundamentally
+supports two things: 1) bidirectional sequenced messaging, and
+2) encoding of base types, containers, and structs.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+writeMessageBegin(name, type, seq)
+writeMessageEnd()
+writeStructBegin(name)
+writeStructEnd()
+writeFieldBegin(name, type, id)
+writeFieldEnd()
+writeFieldStop()
+writeMapBegin(ktype, vtype, size)

+writeBool(bool)
+writeByte(byte)
+writeI16(i16)

+writeDouble(double)

+
+name, type, seq = readMessageBegin()
+                  readMessageEnd()
+name =            readStructBegin()
+                  readStructEnd()
+name, type, id =  readFieldBegin()
+                  readFieldEnd()
+k, v, size =      readMapBegin()
+                  readMapEnd()
+etype, size =     readListBegin()
+                  readListEnd()
+etype, size =     readSetBegin()
+                  readSetEnd()
+bool =            readBool()
+byte =            readByte()
+i16 =             readI16()
+i32 =             readI32()
+i64 =             readI64()
+double =          readDouble()
+string =          readString()
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Note that every \texttt{write} function has exactly one \texttt{read} counterpart, with
+the exception of \texttt{writeFieldStop()}. This is a special method
+that signals the end of a struct. The procedure for reading a struct is to
+\texttt{readFieldBegin()} until the stop field is encountered, and then to
+\texttt{readStructEnd()}.  The
+generated code relies upon this call sequence to ensure that everything written by
+a protocol encoder can be read by a matching protocol decoder. Further note
+that this set of functions is by design more robust than necessary.
+For example, \texttt{writeStructEnd()} is not strictly necessary, as the end of
+a struct may be implied by the stop field. This method is a convenience for
+verbose protocols in which it is cleaner to separate these calls (e.g. a closing
+\texttt{</struct>} tag in XML).
+
+\subsection{Structure}
+
+Thrift structures are designed to support encoding into a streaming
+protocol. The implementation should never need to frame or compute the
+entire data length of a structure prior to encoding it. This is critical to
+performance in many scenarios. Consider a long list of relatively large
+strings. If the protocol interface required reading or writing a list to be an
+atomic operation, then the implementation would need to perform a linear pass over the
+entire list before encoding any data. However, if the list can be written
+as iteration is performed, the corresponding read may begin in parallel,
+theoretically offering an end-to-end speedup of $(kN - C)$, where $N$ is the size
+of the list, $k$ the cost factor associated with serializing a single
+element, and $C$ is fixed offset for the delay between data being written
+and becoming available to read.
+
+Similarly, structs do not encode their data lengths a priori. Instead, they are
+encoded as a sequence of fields, with each field having a type specifier and a
+unique field identifier. Note that the inclusion of type specifiers allows
+the protocol to be safely parsed and decoded without any generated code
+or access to the original IDL file. Structs are terminated by a field header
+with a special \texttt{STOP} type. Because all the basic types can be read
+deterministically, all structs (even those containing other structs) can be
+read deterministically. The Thrift protocol is self-delimiting without any
+framing and regardless of the encoding format.
+
+In situations where streaming is unnecessary or framing is advantageous, it
+can be very simply added into the transport layer, using the
+\texttt{TFramedTransport} abstraction.
+
+\subsection{Implementation}
+
+Facebook has implemented and deployed a space-efficient binary protocol which
+is used by most backend services. Essentially, it writes all data
+in a flat binary format. Integer types are converted to network byte order,
+strings are prepended with their byte length, and all message and field headers
+are written using the primitive integer serialization constructs. String names
+for fields are omitted - when using generated code, field identifiers are
+sufficient.
+
+We decided against some extreme storage optimizations (i.e. packing
+small integers into ASCII or using a 7-bit continuation format) for the sake
+of simplicity and clarity in the code. These alterations can easily be made
+if and when we encounter a performance-critical use case that demands them.
+
+\section{Versioning}
+
+Thrift is robust in the face of versioning and data definition changes. This
+is critical to enable staged rollouts of changes to deployed services. The
+system must be able to support reading of old data from log files, as well as
+requests from out-of-date clients to new servers, and vice versa.
+
+\subsection{Field Identifiers}
+
+Versioning in Thrift is implemented via field identifiers. The field header
+for every member of a struct in Thrift is encoded with a unique field
+identifier. The combination of this field identifier and its type specifier
+is used to uniquely identify the field. The Thrift definition language
+supports automatic assignment of field identifiers, but it is good
+programming practice to always explicitly specify field identifiers.
+Identifiers are specified as follows:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+struct Example {
+  1:i32 number=10,
+  2:i64 bigNumber,
+  3:double decimals,
+  4:string name="thrifty"
+}\end{verbatim}
+
+To avoid conflicts between manually and automatically assigned identifiers,
+fields with identifiers omitted are assigned identifiers
+decrementing from -1, and the language only supports the manual assignment of
+positive identifiers.
+
+When data is being deserialized, the generated code can use these identifiers
+to properly identify the field and determine whether it aligns with a field in
+its definition file. If a field identifier is not recognized, the generated
+code can use the type specifier to skip the unknown field without any error.
+Again, this is possible due to the fact that all datatypes are self
+delimiting.
+
+Field identifiers can (and should) also be specified in function argument
+lists. In fact, argument lists are not only represented as structs on the
+backend, but actually share the same code in the compiler frontend. This
+allows for version-safe modification of method parameters
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+service StringCache {
+  void set(1:i32 key, 2:string value),
+  string get(1:i32 key) throws (1:KeyNotFound knf),
+  void delete(1:i32 key)
+}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+The syntax for specifying field identifiers was chosen to echo their structure.
+Structs can be thought of as a dictionary where the identifiers are keys, and
+the values are strongly-typed named fields.
+
+Field identifiers internally use the \texttt{i16} Thrift type. Note, however,
+that the \texttt{TProtocol} abstraction may encode identifiers in any format.
+
+\subsection{Isset}
+
+When an unexpected field is encountered, it can be safely ignored and
+discarded. When an expected field is not found, there must be some way to
+signal to the developer that it was not present. This is implemented via an
+inner \texttt{isset} structure inside the defined objects. (Isset functionality
+is implicit with a \texttt{null} value in PHP, \texttt{None} in Python
+and \texttt{nil} in Ruby.) Essentially,
+the inner \texttt{isset} object of each Thrift struct contains a boolean value
+for each field which denotes whether or not that field is present in the
+struct. When a reader receives a struct, it should check for a field being set
+before operating directly on it.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+class Example {
+ public:
+  Example() :
+    number(10),
+    bigNumber(0),
+    decimals(0),
+    name("thrifty") {}
+
+  int32_t number;
+  int64_t bigNumber;
+  double decimals;
+  std::string name;
+
+  struct __isset {
+    __isset() :
+      number(false),
+      bigNumber(false),
+      decimals(false),
+      name(false) {}
+    bool number;
+    bool bigNumber;
+    bool decimals;
+    bool name;
+  } __isset;
+...
+}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\subsection{Case Analysis}
+
+There are four cases in which version mismatches may occur.
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item \textit{Added field, old client, new server.} In this case, the old
+client does not send the new field. The new server recognizes that the field
+is not set, and implements default behavior for out-of-date requests.
+\item \textit{Removed field, old client, new server.} In this case, the old
+client sends the removed field. The new server simply ignores it.
+\item \textit{Added field, new client, old server.} The new client sends a
+field that the old server does not recognize. The old server simply ignores
+it and processes as normal.
+\item \textit{Removed field, new client, old server.} This is the most
+dangerous case, as the old server is unlikely to have suitable default
+behavior implemented for the missing field. It is recommended that in this
+situation the new server be rolled out prior to the new clients.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\subsection{Protocol/Transport Versioning}
+The \texttt{TProtocol} abstractions are also designed to give protocol
+implementations the freedom to version themselves in whatever manner they
+see fit. Specifically, any protocol implementation is free to send whatever
+it likes in the \texttt{writeMessageBegin()} call. It is entirely up to the
+implementor how to handle versioning at the protocol level. The key point is
+that protocol encoding changes are safely isolated from interface definition
+version changes.
+
+Note that the exact same is true of the \texttt{TTransport} interface. For
+example, if we wished to add some new checksumming or error detection to the
+\texttt{TFileTransport}, we could simply add a version header into the
+data it writes to the file in such a way that it would still accept old
+log files without the given header.
+
+\section{RPC Implementation}
+
+\subsection{TProcessor}
+
+The last core interface in the Thrift design is the \texttt{TProcessor},
+perhaps the most simple of the constructs. The interface is as follows:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+interface TProcessor {
+  bool process(TProtocol in, TProtocol out)
+    throws TException
+}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+The key design idea here is that the complex systems we build can fundamentally
+be broken down into agents or services that operate on inputs and outputs. In
+most cases, there is actually just one input and output (an RPC client) that
+needs handling.
+
+\subsection{Generated Code}
+
+When a service is defined, we generate a
+\texttt{TProcessor} instance capable of handling RPC requests to that service,
+using a few helpers. The fundamental structure (illustrated in pseudo-C++) is
+as follows:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+Service.thrift
+ => Service.cpp
+     interface ServiceIf
+     class ServiceClient : virtual ServiceIf
+       TProtocol in
+       TProtocol out
+     class ServiceProcessor : TProcessor
+       ServiceIf handler
+
+ServiceHandler.cpp
+ class ServiceHandler : virtual ServiceIf
+
+TServer.cpp
+ TServer(TProcessor processor,
+         TServerTransport transport,
+         TTransportFactory tfactory,
+         TProtocolFactory pfactory)
+ serve()
+\end{verbatim}
+
+From the Thrift definition file, we generate the virtual service interface.
+A client class is generated, which implements the interface and
+uses two \texttt{TProtocol} instances to perform the I/O operations. The
+generated processor implements the \texttt{TProcessor} interface. The generated
+code has all the logic to handle RPC invocations via the \texttt{process()}
+call, and takes as a parameter an instance of the service interface, as
+implemented by the application developer.
+
+The user provides an implementation of the application interface in separate,
+non-generated source code.
+
+\subsection{TServer}
+
+Finally, the Thrift core libraries provide a \texttt{TServer} abstraction.
+The \texttt{TServer} object generally works as follows.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Use the \texttt{TServerTransport} to get a \texttt{TTransport}
+\item Use the \texttt{TTransportFactory} to optionally convert the primitive
+transport into a suitable application transport (typically the
+\texttt{TBufferedTransportFactory} is used here)
+\item Use the \texttt{TProtocolFactory} to create an input and output protocol
+for the \texttt{TTransport}
+\item Invoke the \texttt{process()} method of the \texttt{TProcessor} object
+\end{itemize}
+
+The layers are appropriately separated such that the server code needs to know
+nothing about any of the transports, encodings, or applications in play. The
+server encapsulates the logic around connection handling, threading, etc.
+while the processor deals with RPC. The only code written by the application
+developer lives in the definitional Thrift file and the interface
+implementation.
+
+Facebook has deployed multiple \texttt{TServer} implementations, including
+the single-threaded \texttt{TSimpleServer}, thread-per-connection
+\texttt{TThreadedServer}, and thread-pooling \texttt{TThreadPoolServer}.
+
+The \texttt{TProcessor} interface is very general by design. There is no
+requirement that a \texttt{TServer} take a generated \texttt{TProcessor}
+object. Thrift allows the application developer to easily write any type of
+server that operates on \texttt{TProtocol} objects (for instance, a server
+could simply stream a certain type of object without any actual RPC method
+invocation).
+
+\section{Implementation Details}
+\subsection{Target Languages}
+Thrift currently supports five target languages: C++, Java, Python, Ruby, and
+PHP. At Facebook, we have deployed servers predominantly in C++, Java, and
+Python. Thrift services implemented in PHP have also been embedded into the
+Apache web server, providing transparent backend access to many of our
+frontend constructs using a \texttt{THttpClient} implementation of the
+\texttt{TTransport} interface.
+
+Though Thrift was explicitly designed to be much more efficient and robust
+than typical web technologies, as we were designing our XML-based REST web
+services API we noticed that Thrift could be easily used to define our
+service interface. Though we do not currently employ SOAP envelopes (in the
+authors' opinions there is already far too much repetitive enterprise Java
+software to do that sort of thing), we were able to quickly extend Thrift to
+generate XML Schema Definition files for our service, as well as a framework
+for versioning different implementations of our web service. Though public
+web services are admittedly tangential to Thrift's core use case and design,
+Thrift facilitated rapid iteration and affords us the ability to quickly
+migrate our entire XML-based web service onto a higher performance system
+should the need arise.
+
+\subsection{Generated Structs}
+We made a conscious decision to make our generated structs as transparent as
+possible. All fields are publicly accessible; there are no \texttt{set()} and
+\texttt{get()} methods. Similarly, use of the \texttt{isset} object is not
+enforced. We do not include any \texttt{FieldNotSetException} construct.
+Developers have the option to use these fields to write more robust code, but
+the system is robust to the developer ignoring the \texttt{isset} construct
+entirely and will provide suitable default behavior in all cases.
+
+This choice was motivated by the desire to ease application development. Our stated
+goal is not to make developers learn a rich new library in their language of
+choice, but rather to generate code that allow them to work with the constructs
+that are most familiar in each language.
+
+We also made the \texttt{read()} and \texttt{write()} methods of the generated
+objects public so that the objects can be used outside of the context
+of RPC clients and servers. Thrift is a useful tool simply for generating
+objects that are easily serializable across programming languages.
+
+\subsection{RPC Method Identification}
+Method calls in RPC are implemented by sending the method name as a string. One
+issue with this approach is that longer method names require more bandwidth.
+We experimented with using fixed-size hashes to identify methods, but in the
+end concluded that the savings were not worth the headaches incurred. Reliably
+dealing with conflicts across versions of an interface definition file is
+impossible without a meta-storage system (i.e. to generate non-conflicting
+hashes for the current version of a file, we would have to know about all
+conflicts that ever existed in any previous version of the file).
+
+We wanted to avoid too many unnecessary string comparisons upon
+method invocation. To deal with this, we generate maps from strings to function
+pointers, so that invocation is effectively accomplished via a constant-time
+hash lookup in the common case. This requires the use of a couple interesting
+code constructs. Because Java does not have function pointers, process
+functions are all private member classes implementing a common interface.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+private class ping implements ProcessFunction {
+  public void process(int seqid,
+                      TProtocol iprot,
+                      TProtocol oprot)
+    throws TException
+  { ...}
+}
+
+HashMap<String,ProcessFunction> processMap_ =
+  new HashMap<String,ProcessFunction>();
+\end{verbatim}
+
+In C++, we use a relatively esoteric language construct: member function
+pointers.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+std::map<std::string,
+  void (ExampleServiceProcessor::*)(int32_t,
+  facebook::thrift::protocol::TProtocol*,
+  facebook::thrift::protocol::TProtocol*)>
+ processMap_;
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Using these techniques, the cost of string processing is minimized, and we
+reap the benefit of being able to easily debug corrupt or misunderstood data by
+inspecting it for known string method names.
+
+\subsection{Servers and Multithreading}
+Thrift services require basic multithreading to handle simultaneous
+requests from multiple clients. For the Python and Java implementations of
+Thrift server logic, the standard threading libraries distributed with the
+languages provide adequate support. For the C++ implementation, no standard multithread runtime
+library exists. Specifically, robust, lightweight, and portable
+thread manager and timer class implementations do not exist. We investigated
+existing implementations, namely \texttt{boost::thread},
+\texttt{boost::threadpool}, \texttt{ACE\_Thread\_Manager} and
+\texttt{ACE\_Timer}.
+
+While \texttt{boost::threads}\cite{boost.threads}  provides clean,
+lightweight and robust implementations of multi-thread primitives (mutexes,
+conditions, threads) it does not provide a thread manager or timer
+implementation.
+
+\texttt{boost::threadpool}\cite{boost.threadpool} also looked promising but
+was not far enough along for our purposes. We wanted to limit the dependency on
+third-party libraries as much as possible. Because\\
+\texttt{boost::threadpool} is
+not a pure template library and requires runtime libraries and because it is
+not yet part of the official Boost distribution we felt it was not ready for
+use in Thrift. As \texttt{boost::threadpool} evolves and especially if it is
+added to the Boost distribution we may reconsider our decision to not use it.
+
+ACE has both a thread manager and timer class in addition to multi-thread
+primitives. The biggest problem with ACE is that it is ACE. Unlike Boost, ACE
+API quality is poor. Everything in ACE has large numbers of dependencies on
+everything else in ACE - thus forcing developers to throw out standard
+classes, such as STL collections, in favor of ACE's homebrewed implementations. In
+addition, unlike Boost, ACE implementations demonstrate little understanding
+of the power and pitfalls of C++ programming and take no advantage of modern
+templating techniques to ensure compile time safety and reasonable compiler
+error messages. For all these reasons, ACE was rejected. Instead, we chose
+to implement our own library, described in the following sections.
+
+\subsection{Thread Primitives}
+
+The Thrift thread libraries are implemented in the namespace\\
+\texttt{facebook::thrift::concurrency} and have three components:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item primitives
+\item thread pool manager
+\item timer manager
+\end{itemize}
+
+As mentioned above, we were hesitant to introduce any additional dependencies
+on Thrift. We decided to use \texttt{boost::shared\_ptr} because it is so
+useful for multithreaded application, it requires no link-time or
+runtime libraries (i.e. it is a pure template library) and it is due
+to become part of the C++0x standard.
+
+We implement standard \texttt{Mutex} and \texttt{Condition} classes, and a
+ \texttt{Monitor} class. The latter is simply a combination of a mutex and
+condition variable and is analogous to the \texttt{Monitor} implementation provided for
+the Java \texttt{Object} class. This is also sometimes referred to as a barrier. We
+provide a \texttt{Synchronized} guard class to allow Java-like synchronized blocks.
+This is just a bit of syntactic sugar, but, like its Java counterpart, clearly
+delimits critical sections of code. Unlike its Java counterpart, we still
+have the ability to programmatically lock, unlock, block, and signal monitors.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+void run() {
+ {Synchronized s(manager->monitor);
+  if (manager->state == TimerManager::STARTING) {
+    manager->state = TimerManager::STARTED;
+    manager->monitor.notifyAll();
+  }
+ }
+}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+We again borrowed from Java the distinction between a thread and a runnable
+class. A \texttt{Thread} is the actual schedulable object. The
+\texttt{Runnable} is the logic to execute within the thread.
+The \texttt{Thread} implementation deals with all the platform-specific thread
+creation and destruction issues, while the \texttt{Runnable} implementation deals
+with the application-specific per-thread logic. The benefit of this approach
+is that developers can easily subclass the Runnable class without pulling in
+platform-specific super-classes.
+
+\subsection{Thread, Runnable, and shared\_ptr}
+We use \texttt{boost::shared\_ptr} throughout the \texttt{ThreadManager} and
+\texttt{TimerManager} implementations to guarantee cleanup of dead objects that can
+be accessed by multiple threads. For \texttt{Thread} class implementations,
+\texttt{boost::shared\_ptr} usage requires particular attention to make sure
+\texttt{Thread} objects are neither leaked nor dereferenced prematurely while
+creating and shutting down threads.
+
+Thread creation requires calling into a C library. (In our case the POSIX
+thread library, \texttt{libpthread}, but the same would be true for WIN32 threads).
+Typically, the OS makes few, if any, guarantees about when \texttt{ThreadMain}, a C thread's entry-point function, will be called. Therefore, it is
+possible that our thread create call,
+\texttt{ThreadFactory::newThread()} could return to the caller
+well before that time. To ensure that the returned \texttt{Thread} object is not
+prematurely cleaned up if the caller gives up its reference prior to the
+\texttt{ThreadMain} call, the \texttt{Thread} object makes a weak referenence to
+itself in its \texttt{start} method.
+
+With the weak reference in hand the \texttt{ThreadMain} function can attempt to get
+a strong reference before entering the \texttt{Runnable::run} method of the
+\texttt{Runnable} object bound to the \texttt{Thread}. If no strong references to the
+thread are obtained between exiting \texttt{Thread::start} and entering \texttt{ThreadMain}, the weak reference returns \texttt{null} and the function
+exits immediately.
+
+The need for the \texttt{Thread} to make a weak reference to itself has a
+significant impact on the API. Since references are managed through the
+\texttt{boost::shared\_ptr} templates, the \texttt{Thread} object must have a reference
+to itself wrapped by the same \texttt{boost::shared\_ptr} envelope that is returned
+to the caller. This necessitated the use of the factory pattern.
+\texttt{ThreadFactory} creates the raw \texttt{Thread} object and a
+\texttt{boost::shared\_ptr} wrapper, and calls a private helper method of the class
+implementing the \texttt{Thread} interface (in this case, \texttt{PosixThread::weakRef})
+ to allow it to make add weak reference to itself through the
+ \texttt{boost::shared\_ptr} envelope.
+
+\texttt{Thread} and \texttt{Runnable} objects reference each other. A \texttt{Runnable}
+object may need to know about the thread in which it is executing, and a Thread, obviously,
+needs to know what \texttt{Runnable} object it is hosting. This interdependency is
+further complicated because the lifecycle of each object is independent of the
+other. An application may create a set of \texttt{Runnable} object to be reused in different threads, or it may create and forget a \texttt{Runnable} object
+once a thread has been created and started for it.
+
+The \texttt{Thread} class takes a \texttt{boost::shared\_ptr} reference to the hosted
+\texttt{Runnable} object in its constructor, while the \texttt{Runnable} class has an
+explicit \texttt{thread} method to allow explicit binding of the hosted thread.
+\texttt{ThreadFactory::newThread} binds the objects to each other.
+
+\subsection{ThreadManager}
+
+\texttt{ThreadManager} creates a pool of worker threads and
+allows applications to schedule tasks for execution as free worker threads
+become available. The \texttt{ThreadManager} does not implement dynamic
+thread pool resizing, but provides primitives so that applications can add
+and remove threads based on load. This approach was chosen because
+implementing load metrics and thread pool size is very application
+specific. For example some applications may want to adjust pool size based
+on running-average of work arrival rates that are measured via polled
+samples. Others may simply wish to react immediately to work-queue
+depth high and low water marks. Rather than trying to create a complex
+API abstract enough to capture these different approaches, we
+simply leave it up to the particular application and provide the
+primitives to enact the desired policy and sample current status.
+
+\subsection{TimerManager}
+
+\texttt{TimerManager} allows applications to schedule
+ \texttt{Runnable} objects for execution at some point in the future. Its specific task
+is to allows applications to sample \texttt{ThreadManager} load at regular
+intervals and make changes to the thread pool size based on application policy.
+Of course, it can be used to generate any number of timer or alarm events.
+
+The default implementation of \texttt{TimerManager} uses a single thread to
+execute expired \texttt{Runnable} objects. Thus, if a timer operation needs to
+do a large amount of work and especially if it needs to do blocking I/O,
+that should be done in a separate thread.
+
+\subsection{Nonblocking Operation}
+Though the Thrift transport interfaces map more directly to a blocking I/O
+model, we have implemented a high performance \texttt{TNonBlockingServer}
+in C++ based on \texttt{libevent} and the \texttt{TFramedTransport}. We
+implemented this by moving all I/O into one tight event loop using a
+state machine. Essentially, the event loop reads framed requests into
+\texttt{TMemoryBuffer} objects. Once entire requests are ready, they are
+dispatched to the \texttt{TProcessor} object which can read directly from
+the data in memory.
+
+\subsection{Compiler}
+The Thrift compiler is implemented in C++ using standard \texttt{lex}/\texttt{yacc}
+lexing and parsing. Though it could have been implemented with fewer
+lines of code in another language (i.e. Python Lex-Yacc (PLY) or \texttt{ocamlyacc}), using C++
+forces explicit definition of the language constructs. Strongly typing the
+parse tree elements (debatably) makes the code more approachable for new
+developers.
+
+Code generation is done using two passes. The first pass looks only for
+include files and type definitions. Type definitions are not checked during
+this phase, since they may depend upon include files. All included files
+are sequentially scanned in a first pass. Once the include tree has been
+resolved, a second pass over all files is taken that inserts type definitions
+into the parse tree and raises an error on any undefined types. The program is
+then generated against the parse tree.
+
+Due to inherent complexities and potential for circular dependencies,
+we explicitly disallow forward declaration. Two Thrift structs cannot
+each contain an instance of the other. (Since we do not allow \texttt{null}
+struct instances in the generated C++ code, this would actually be impossible.)
+
+\subsection{TFileTransport}
+The \texttt{TFileTransport} logs Thrift requests/structs by
+framing incoming data with its length and writing it out to disk.
+Using a framed on-disk format allows for better error checking and
+helps with the processing of a finite number of discrete events. The\\
+\texttt{TFileWriterTransport} uses a system of swapping in-memory buffers
+to ensure good performance while logging large amounts of data.
+A Thrift log file is split up into chunks of a specified size; logged messages
+are not allowed to cross chunk boundaries. A message that would cross a chunk
+boundary will cause padding to be added until the end of the chunk and the
+first byte of the message are aligned to the beginning of the next chunk.
+Partitioning the file into chunks makes it possible to read and interpret data
+from a particular point in the file.
+
+\section{Facebook Thrift Services}
+Thrift has been employed in a large number of applications at Facebook, including
+search, logging, mobile, ads and the developer platform. Two specific usages are discussed below.
+
+\subsection{Search}
+Thrift is used as the underlying protocol and transport layer for the Facebook Search service.
+The multi-language code generation is well suited for search because it allows for application
+development in an efficient server side language (C++) and allows the Facebook PHP-based web application
+to make calls to the search service using Thrift PHP libraries. There is also a large
+variety of search stats, deployment and testing functionality that is built on top
+of generated Python code. Additionally, the Thrift log file format is
+used as a redo log for providing real-time search index updates. Thrift has allowed the
+search team to leverage each language for its strengths and to develop code at a rapid pace.
+
+\subsection{Logging}
+The Thrift \texttt{TFileTransport} functionality is used for structured logging. Each
+service function definition along with its parameters can be considered to be
+a structured log entry identified by the function name. This log can then be used for
+a variety of purposes, including inline and offline processing, stats aggregation and as a redo log.
+
+\section{Conclusions}
+Thrift has enabled Facebook to build scalable backend
+services efficiently by enabling engineers to divide and conquer. Application
+developers can focus on application code without worrying about the
+sockets layer. We avoid duplicated work by writing buffering and I/O logic
+in one place, rather than interspersing it in each application.
+
+Thrift has been employed in a wide variety of applications at Facebook,
+including search, logging, mobile, ads, and the developer platform. We have
+found that the marginal performance cost incurred by an extra layer of
+software abstraction is far eclipsed by the gains in developer efficiency and
+systems reliability.
+
+\appendix
+
+\section{Similar Systems}
+The following are software systems similar to Thrift. Each is (very!) briefly
+described:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textit{SOAP.} XML-based. Designed for web services via HTTP, excessive
+XML parsing overhead.
+\item \textit{CORBA.} Relatively comprehensive, debatably overdesigned and
+heavyweight. Comparably cumbersome software installation.
+\item \textit{COM.} Embraced mainly in Windows client softare. Not an entirely
+open solution.
+\item \textit{Pillar.} Lightweight and high-performance, but missing versioning
+and abstraction.
+\item \textit{Protocol Buffers.} Closed-source, owned by Google. Described in
+Sawzall paper.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\acks
+
+Many thanks for feedback on Thrift (and extreme trial by fire) are due to
+Martin Smith, Karl Voskuil and Yishan Wong.
+
+Thrift is a successor to Pillar, a similar system developed
+by Adam D'Angelo, first while at Caltech and continued later at Facebook.
+Thrift simply would not have happened without Adam's insights.

+under the License.
+
+Using Thrift with C++
+=====================
+
+The Thrift C++ libraries are built using the GNU tools. Follow the instructions
+in the top-level README, or run bootstrap.sh in this folder to generate the
+Makefiles.
+
+In case you do not want to open another README file, do this:
+  ./bootstrap.sh
+  ./configure (--with-boost=/usr/local)
+  make
+  sudo make install
+
+Thrift is divided into two libraries.
+
+libthrift
+  The core Thrift library contains all the core Thrift code. It requires
+  boost shared pointers, pthreads, and librt.
+
+libthriftnb
+  This library contains the Thrift nonblocking server, which uses libevent.
+  To link this library you will also need to link libevent.
+
+Linking Against Thrift
+======================
+
+After you build and install Thrift the libraries are installed to
+/usr/local/lib by default. Make sure this is in your LDPATH.
+
+On Linux, the best way to do this is to ensure that /usr/local/lib is in
+your /etc/ld.so.conf and then run /sbin/ldconfig.
+
+Depending upon whether you are linking dynamically or statically and how
+your build environment it set up, you may need to include additional
+libraries when linking against thrift, such as librt and/or libpthread. If
+you are using libthriftnb you will also need libevent.
+
+Dependencies
+============
+
+boost shared pointers
+http://www.boost.org/libs/smart_ptr/smart_ptr.htm
+
+libevent (for libthriftnb only)
+http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent/

+
+IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
+
+TDenseProtocol was designed to have a smaller serialized form than
+TBinaryProtocol.  This is accomplished using two techniques.  The first is
+variable-length integer encoding.  We use the same technique that the Standard
+MIDI File format uses for "variable-length quantities"
+(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-length_quantity).
+All integers (including i16, but not byte) are first cast to uint64_t,
+then written out as variable-length quantities.  This has the unfortunate side
+effect that all negative numbers require 10 bytes, but negative numbers tend
+to be far less common than positive ones.
+
+The second technique eliminating the field ids used by TBinaryProtocol.  This
+decision required support from the Thrift compiler and also sacrifices some of
+the backward and forward compatibility of TBinaryProtocol.
+
+We considered implementing this technique by generating separate readers and
+writers for the dense protocol (this is how Pillar, Thrift's predecessor,
+worked), but this idea had a few problems:
+- Our abstractions go out the window.
+- We would have to maintain a second code generator.
+- Preserving compatibility with old versions of the structures would be a
+  nightmare.
+
+Therefore, we chose an alternate implementation that stored the description of
+the data neither in the data itself (like TBinaryProtocol) nor in the
+serialization code (like Pillar), but instead in a separate data structure,
+called a TypeSpec.  TypeSpecs are generated by the Thrift compiler
+(specifically in the t_cpp_generator), and their structure should be
+documented there (TODO(dreiss): s/should be/is/).
+
+We maintain a stack of TypeSpecs within the protocol so it knows where the
+generated code is in the reading/writing process.  For example, if we are
+writing an i32 contained in a struct bar, contained in a struct foo, then the
+stack would look like: TOP , i32 , struct bar , struct foo , BOTTOM.
+The following invariant: whenever we are about to read/write an object
+(structBegin, containerBegin, or a scalar), the TypeSpec on the top of the
+stack must match the type being read/written.  The main reasons that this
+invariant must be maintained is that if we ever start reading a structure, we
+must have its exact TypeSpec in order to pass the right tags to the
+deserializer.
+
+We use the following strategies for maintaining this invariant:
+
+- For structures, we have a separate stack of indexes, one for each structure
+  on the TypeSpec stack.  These are indexes into the list of fields in the
+  structure's TypeSpec.  When we {read,write}FieldBegin, we push on the
+  TypeSpec for the field.
+- When we begin writing a list or set, we push on the TypeSpec for the
+  element type.
+- For maps, we have a separate stack of booleans, one for each map on the
+  TypeSpec stack.  The boolean is true if we are writing the key for that
+  map, and false if we are writing the value.  Maps are the trickiest case
+  because the generated code does not call any protocol method between
+  the key and the value.  As a result, we potentially have to switch
+  between map key state and map value state after reading/writing any object.
+- This job is handled by the stateTransition method.  It is called after
+  reading/writing every object.  It pops the current TypeSpec off the stack,
+  then optionally pushes a new one on, depending on what the next TypeSpec is.
+  If it is a struct, the job is left to the next writeFieldBegin.  If it is a
+  set or list, the just-popped typespec is pushed back on.  If it is a map,
+  the top of the key/value stack is toggled, and the appropriate TypeSpec
+  is pushed.
+
+Optional fields are a little tricky also.  We write a zero byte if they are
+absent and prefix them with an 0x01 byte if they are present

+ * This class is still highly experimental.  Incompatible changes
+ * WILL be made to it without notice.  DO NOT USE IT YET unless
+ * you are coordinating your testing with the author.
+ *
+ * The dense protocol is designed to use as little space as possible.
+ *
+ * There are two types of dense protocol instances.  Standalone instances
+ * are not used for RPC and just encoded and decode structures of
+ * a predetermined type.  Non-standalone instances are used for RPC.
+ * Currently, only standalone instances exist.
+ *
+ * To use a standalone dense protocol object, you must set the type_spec
+ * property (either in the constructor, or with setTypeSpec) to the local
+ * reflection TypeSpec of the structures you will write to (or read from) the
+ * protocol instance.
+ *
+ * BEST PRACTICES:
+ * - Never use optional for primitives or containers.
+ * - Only use optional for structures if they are very big and very rarely set.
+ * - All integers are variable-length, so you can use i64 without bloating.
+ * - NEVER EVER change the struct definitions IN ANY WAY without either
+ *   changing your cache keys or talking to dreiss.
+ *
+ * TODO(dreiss): New class write with old meta.
+ *
+ * We override all of TBinaryProtocol's methods.
+ * We inherit so that we can can explicitly call TBPs's primitive-writing
+ * methods within our versions.

+/**
+ * JSON protocol for Thrift.
+ *
+ * Implements a protocol which uses JSON as the wire-format.
+ *
+ * Thrift types are represented as described below:
+ *
+ * 1. Every Thrift integer type is represented as a JSON number.
+ *
+ * 2. Thrift doubles are represented as JSON numbers. Some special values are
+ *    represented as strings:
+ *    a. "NaN" for not-a-number values
+ *    b. "Infinity" for postive infinity
+ *    c. "-Infinity" for negative infinity
+ *
+ * 3. Thrift string values are emitted as JSON strings, with appropriate
+ *    escaping.
+ *
+ * 4. Thrift binary values are encoded into Base64 and emitted as JSON strings.
+ *    The readBinary() method is written such that it will properly skip if
+ *    called on a Thrift string (although it will decode garbage data).
+ *
+ * 5. Thrift structs are represented as JSON objects, with the field ID as the
+ *    key, and the field value represented as a JSON object with a single
+ *    key-value pair. The key is a short string identifier for that type,
+ *    followed by the value. The valid type identifiers are: "tf" for bool,
+ *    "i8" for byte, "i16" for 16-bit integer, "i32" for 32-bit integer, "i64"
+ *    for 64-bit integer, "dbl" for double-precision loating point, "str" for
+ *    string (including binary), "rec" for struct ("records"), "map" for map,
+ *    "lst" for list, "set" for set.
+ *
+ * 6. Thrift lists and sets are represented as JSON arrays, with the first
+ *    element of the JSON array being the string identifier for the Thrift
+ *    element type and the second element of the JSON array being the count of
+ *    the Thrift elements. The Thrift elements then follow.
+ *
+ * 7. Thrift maps are represented as JSON arrays, with the first two elements
+ *    of the JSON array being the string identifiers for the Thrift key type
+ *    and value type, followed by the count of the Thrift pairs, followed by a
+ *    JSON object containing the key-value pairs. Note that JSON keys can only
+ *    be strings, which means that the key type of the Thrift map should be
+ *    restricted to numeric or string types -- in the case of numerics, they
+ *    are serialized as strings.
+ *
+ * 8. Thrift messages are represented as JSON arrays, with the protocol
+ *    version #, the message name, the message type, and the sequence ID as
+ *    the first 4 elements.
+ *
+ * More discussion of the double handling is probably warranted. The aim of
+ * the current implementation is to match as closely as possible the behavior
+ * of Java's Double.toString(), which has no precision loss.  Implementors in
+ * other languages should strive to achieve that where possible. I have not
+ * yet verified whether boost:lexical_cast, which is doing that work for me in
+ * C++, loses any precision, but I am leaving this as a future improvement. I
+ * may try to provide a C component for this, so that other languages could
+ * bind to the same underlying implementation for maximum consistency.
+ *
+ * Note further that JavaScript itself is not capable of representing
+ * floating point infinities -- presumably when we have a JavaScript Thrift
+ * client, this would mean that infinities get converted to not-a-number in
+ * transmission. I don't know of any work-around for this issue.

+# Comment by tfee 2004-07-01
+# ==========================
+# This file is a mod of the stock OTP one.
+# The change allows make to stop when a compile error occurs.
+# This file needs to go into two places:
+#     /usr/local/include/erlang
+#     /opt/OTP_SRC/make
+#
+# where OTP_SRC is a symbolic link to a peer directory containing
+# the otp source, e.g. otp_src_R9C-2.
+#
+# After installing OTP, running sudo make install in otp/build
+# will push this file out to the two places listed above.
+#
+# The mod involves setting the shell variable $short_circuit, which we
+# introduce - ie it is not in the stock file. This variable is tested
+# to affect execution flow and is also returned to affect the flow in
+# the calling script (this one). The latter step is necessary because
+# of the recursion involved.
+# =====================================================================

+under the License.
+
+Running
+=======
+
+You need -fglasgow-exts. Use Cabal to compile and install. If you're trying to
+manually compile or load via ghci, and you're using ghc 6.10 (or really if your
+default base package has major version number 4), you must specify a version of
+the base package with major version number 3. Furthermore if you have the syb
+package installed you need to hide that package to avoid import conflicts.
+Here's an example of what I'm talking about:
+
+  ghci -fglasgow-exts -package base-3.0.3.0 -hide-package syb -isrc Thrift.hs
+
+To determine which versions of the base package you have installed use the
+following command:
+
+  ghc-pkg list base
+
+All of this is taken care of for you if you use Cabal.
+
+
+Enums
+=====
+
+become haskell data types. Use fromEnum to get out the int value.
+
+Structs
+=======
+
+become records. Field labels are ugly, of the form f_STRUCTNAME_FIELDNAME. All
+fields are Maybe types.
+
+Exceptions
+==========
+
+identical to structs. Throw them with throwDyn. Catch them with catchDyn.
+
+Client
+======
+
+just a bunch of functions. You may have to import a bunch of client files to
+deal with inheritance.
+
+Interface
+=========
+
+You should only have to import the last one in the chain of inheritors. To make
+an interface, declare a label:
+
+  data MyIface = MyIface
+
+and then declare it an instance of each iface class, starting with the superest
+class and proceding down (all the while defining the methods).  Then pass your
+label to process as the handler.
+
+Processor
+=========
+
+Just a function that takes a handler label, protocols. It calls the
+superclasses process if there is a superclass.

+
+Using Thrift with Java
+======================
+
+The Thrift Java source is not build using the GNU tools, but rather uses
+the Apache Ant build system, which tends to be predominant amongst Java
+developers.
+
+To compile the Java Thrift libraries, simply do the following:
+
+ant
+
+Yep, that's easy. Look for libthrift.jar in the base directory.
+
+To include Thrift in your applications simply add libthrift.jar to your
+classpath, or install if in your default system classpath of choice.
+
+Dependencies
+============
+
+Apache Ant

+specific language governing permissions and limitations
+under the License.
+
+
+Library
+=======
+
+The library abstract classes, exceptions, and general use functions
+are mostly jammed in Thrift.ml (an exception being
+TServer).
+
+Generally, classes are used, however they are often put in their own
+module along with other relevant types and functions. The classes
+often called t, exceptions are called E.
+
+Implementations live in their own files. There is TBinaryProtocol,
+TSocket, TThreadedServer, TSimpleServer, and TServerSocket.
+
+A note on making the library: Running make should create native, debug
+code libraries, and a toplevel.
+
+
+Struct format
+-------------
+Structs are turned into classes. The fields are all option types and
+are initially None. Write is a method, but reading is done by a
+separate function (since there is no such thing as a static
+class). The class type is t and is in a module with the name of the
+struct.
+
+
+enum format
+-----------
+Enums are put in their own module along with
+functions to_i and of_i which convert the ocaml types into ints. For
+example:
+
+enum Numberz
+{
+  ONE = 1,
+  TWO,
+  THREE,
+  FIVE = 5,
+  SIX,
+  EIGHT = 8
+}
+
+==>
+
+module Numberz =
+struct
+type t =
+| ONE
+| TWO
+| THREE
+| FIVE
+| SIX
+| EIGHT
+
+let of_i = ...
+let to_i = ...
+end
+
+typedef format
+--------------
+Typedef turns into the type declaration:
+typedef i64 UserId
+
+==>
+
+type userid Int64.t
+
+exception format
+----------------
+The same as structs except that the module also has an exception type
+E of t that is raised/caught.
+
+For example, with an exception Xception,
+raise (Xception.E (new Xception.t))
+and
+try
+  ...
+with Xception.E e -> ...
+
+list format
+-----------
+Lists are turned into OCaml native lists.
+
+Map/Set formats
+---------------
+These are both turned into Hashtbl.t's. Set values are bool.
+
+Services
+--------
+The client is a class "client" parametrized on input and output
+protocols. The processor is a class parametrized on a handler. A
+handler is a class inheriting the iface abstract class. Unlike other
+implementations, client does not implement iface since iface functions
+must take option arguments so as to deal with the case where a client
+does not send all the arguments.

+OCamlMakefile  - Makefile for easy handling of compilation of not so easy
+                 OCaml-projects.  It generates dependencies of OCaml-files
+                 automatically, is able to handle "ocamllex"-,
+                 "ocamlyacc"-, IDL- and C-files, knows how to run
+                 preprocessors and generates native- or byte-code, as
+                 executable or as library - with thread-support if you
+                 want! Profiling and debugging support can be added on
+                 the fly!  There is also support for installing libraries.
+                 Ah, yes, and you can also create toplevels from any
+                 sources: this allows you immediate interactive testing.
+                 Automatic generation of documentation is easy due to
+                 integration of support for OCamldoc.

+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+                      Why should you use it?
+
+For several reasons:
+
+  * It is well-tested (I use it in all of my projects).
+
+  * In contrast to most other approaches it generates dependencies
+    correctly by ensuring that all automatically generated OCaml-files
+    exist before dependency calculation.  This is the only way to
+    guarantee that "ocamldep" works correctly.
+
+  * It is extremely convenient (at least I think so ;-).
+    Even quite complex compilation processes (see example "calc.ml")
+    need very little information to work correctly - actually just about
+    the minimum (file names of sources).
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+                     When you shouldn't use it...
+
+In projects where every compilation unit needs different flags - but
+in such complicated cases you will be on your own anyway. Luckily,
+this doesn't happen too frequently...
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+             How to use "OCamlMakefile" in your own project
+         (Take a look at the examples for a quick introduction!)
+
+Create your project-specific "Makefile" in the appropriate directory.
+
+Now there are two ways of making use of "OCamlMakefile":
+
+  1) Have a look at the default settings in "OCamlMakefile" and set
+     them to the values that are vaild on your system - whether the
+     path to the standard libraries is ok, what executables shall be
+     used, etc...
+
+  2) Copy it into the directory of the project to be compiled.
+     Add "-include OCamlMakefile" as a last line of your "Makefile".
+
+  3) Put it somewhere else on the system. In this case you will have to
+     set a variable "OCAMLMAKEFILE" in your project-specific "Makefile".
+     This is the way in which the examples are written: so you need
+     only one version of "OCamlMakefile" to manage all your projects!
+     See the examples for details.
+
+You should usually specify two further variables for your project:
+
+  * SOURCES  (default: foo.ml)
+  * RESULT   (default: foo)
+
+Put all the sources necessary for a target into variable "SOURCES".
+Then set "RESULT" to the name of the target. If you want to generate
+libraries, you should *not* specify the suffix (".cma", ".cmxa", ".a")
+- it will be added automatically if you specify that you want to build
+a library.
+
+      **      Don't forget to add the ".mli"-files, too!        **
+      **  Don't forget that order of the source files matters!  **
+
+The order is important, because it matters during linking anyway
+due to potential side effects caused at program startup. This is
+why OCamlMakefile does not attempt to partially order dependencies by
+itself, which might confuse users even more. It just compiles and links
+OCaml-sources in the order specified by the user, even if it could
+determine automatically that the order cannot be correct.
+
+The minimum of your "Makefile" looks like this (assuming that
+"OCamlMakefile" is in the search path of "make"):
+
+  -include OCamlMakefile
+
+This will assume that you want to compile a file "foo.ml" to a binary
+"foo".
+
+Otherwise, your Makefile will probably contain something like this:
+
+  SOURCES = foo.ml
+  RESULT  = foo
+  -include OCamlMakefile
+
+Be careful with the names you put into these variables: if they are wrong,
+a "make clean" might erase the wrong files - but I know you will not do
+that ;-)
+
+A simple "make" will generate a byte-code executable. If you want to
+change this, you may add an "all"-rule that generates something else.
+
+E.g.:
+
+  SOURCES = foo.ml
+  RESULT  = foo
+  all: native-code-library
+  -include OCamlMakefile
+
+This will build a native-code library "foo.cmxa" (+ "foo.a") from file
+"foo.ml".
+
+You may even build several targets at once. To produce byte- and native-code
+executables with one "make", add the following rule:
+
+    all: byte-code native-code
+
+You will probably want to use a different suffix for each of these targets
+so that the result will not be overwritten (see optional variables below
+for details).
+
+You may also tell "make" at the command-line what kind of target to
+produce (e.g. "make nc").  Here all the possibilities with shortcuts
+between parenthesis:
+
+   * byte-code                     (bc)
+   * byte-code-nolink              (bcnl)   - no linking stage
+   * byte-code-library             (bcl)
+   * native-code                   (nc)
+   * native-code-nolink            (ncnl)   - no linking stage
+   * native-code-library           (ncl)
+   * debug-code                    (dc)
+   * debug-code-nolink             (dcnl)   - no linking stage
+   * debug-code-library            (dcl)
+   * profiling-byte-code           (pbc)
+   * profiling-byte-code-library   (pbcl)
+   * profiling-native-code         (pnc)
+   * profiling-native-code-library (pncl)
+   * byte-code-dll                 (bcd)
+   * native-code-dll               (ncd)
+   * pack-byte-code                (pabc)
+   * pack-native-code              (panc)
+   * toplevel interpreter          (top)
+   * subprojs
+
+Here a short note concerning building and linking byte code libraries
+with C-files:
+
+  OCaml links C-object files only when they are used in an executable.
+  After compilation they should be placed in some directory that is in
+  your include path if you link your library against an executable.
+
+  It is sometimes more convenient to link all C-object files into a
+  single C-library. Then you have to override the automatic link flags
+  of your library using "-noautolink" and add another linkflag that
+  links in your C-library explicitly.
+
+What concerns maintainance:
+
+  "make clean" removes all (all!) automatically generated files - so
+  again: make sure your variables are ok!
+
+  "make cleanup" is similar to "make clean" but leaves executables.
+
+Another way to destroy some important files is by having "OCamlMakefile"
+automatically generate files with the same name. Read the documentation
+about the tools in the OCaml-distribution to see what kind of files are
+generated. "OCamlMakefile" additionally generates ('%' is basename of
+source file):
+
+  %_idl.c  - "camlidl" generates a file "%.c" from "%.idl", but this is
+             not such a good idea, because when generating native-code,
+             both the file "%.c" and "%.ml" would generate files "%.o"
+             which would overwrite each other. Thus, "OCamlMakefile"
+             renames "%.c" to "%_idl.c" to work around this problem.
+
+The dependencies are stored in three different subdirectories (dot dirs):
+
+  ._d    - contains dependencies for .ml-files
+  ._bcdi - contains byte code dependencies for .mli-files
+  ._ncdi - contains native code dependencies for .mli-files
+
+The endings of the dependency files are: "%.d" for those generated from
+"%.ml"-files, "%.di" for ones derived from "%.mli"-files.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+                                 Debugging
+
+  This is easy: if you discover a bug, just do a "make clean; make dc"
+  to recompile your project with debugging information. Then you can
+  immediately apply "ocamldebug" to the executable.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+                                 Profiling
+
+  For generating code that can be profiled with "ocamlprof" (byte code)
+  or "gprof" (native code), compile your project with one of the profiling
+  targets (see targets above). E.g.:
+
+    * "make pbc" will build byte code that can be profiled with
+      "ocamlprof".
+
+    * "make pnc" will build native code that can be profiled with
+      "gprof".
+
+  Please note that it is not currently possible to profile byte code with
+  threads. OCamlMakefile will force an error if you try to do this.
+
+  A short hint for DEC Alpha-users (under Digital Unix): you may also
+  compile your sources to native code without any further profiling
+  options/targets. Then call "pixie my_exec", "my_exec" being your
+  executable. This will produce (among other files) an executable
+  "my_exec.pixie". Call it and it will produce profiling information which
+  can be analysed using "prof -pixie my_exec". The resulting information
+  is extremely detailed and allows analysis up to the clock cycle level...
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+                             Using Preprocessors
+
+  Because one could employ any kind of program that reads from standard
+  input and prints to standard output as preprocessor, there cannot be any
+  default way to handle all of them correctly without further knowledge.
+
+  Therefore you have to cooperate a bit with OCamlMakefile to let
+  preprocessing happen automatically. Basically, this only requires
+  that you put a comment into the first line of files that should be
+  preprocessed, e.g.:
+
+    (*pp cat *)
+    ... rest of program ...
+
+  OCamlMakefile looks at the first line of your files, and if it finds
+  a comment that starts with "(*pp", then it will assume that the
+  rest of the comment tells it how to correctly call the appropriate
+  preprocessor. In this case the program "cat" will be called, which will,
+  of course, just output the source text again without changing it.
+
+  If you are, for example, an advocate of the new "revised syntax",
+  which is supported by the camlp4 preprocessor, you could simply write:
+
+    (*pp camlp4r *)
+    ... rest of program in revised syntax ...
+
+  Simple, isn't it?
+
+  If you want to write your own syntax extensions, just take a look at the
+  example in the directory "camlp4": it implements the "repeat ... until"
+  extension as described in the camlp4-tutorial.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+                     Library (Un-)Installation Support
+
+  OCamlMakefile contains two targets using "ocamlfind" for this purpose:
+
+    * libinstall
+    * libuninstall
+
+  These two targets require the existence of the variable
+  "LIBINSTALL_FILES", which should be set to all the files that you
+  want to install in the library directory (usually %.mli, %.cmi, %.cma,
+  %.cmxa, %.a and possibly further C-libraries). The target "libinstall"
+  has the dependency "all" to force compilation of the library so make
+  sure you define target "all" in your Makefile appropriately.
+
+  The targets inform the user about the configured install path and ask
+  for confirmation to (un)install there. If you want to use them, it
+  is often a good idea to just alias them in your Makefile to "install"
+  and "uninstall" respectively.
+
+  Two other targets allow installation of files into a particular
+  directory (without using ocamlfind):
+
+    * rawinstall
+    * rawuninstall
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+                            Building toplevels
+
+  There is just one target for this:
+
+    * top
+
+  The generated file can be used immediately for interactive sessions -
+  even with scanners, parsers, C-files, etc.!
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+                         Generating documentation
+
+  The following targets are supported:
+
+   * htdoc      - generates HTML-documentation
+   * ladoc      - generates Latex-documentation
+   * psdoc      - generates PostScript-documentation
+   * pdfdoc     - generates PDF-documentation
+   * doc        - generates all supported forms of documentation
+   * clean-doc  - generates all supported forms of documentation
+
+  All of them generate a sub-directory "doc". More precisely, for HTML it
+  is "doc/$(RESULT)/html" and for Latex, PostScript and PDF the directory
+  "doc/$(RESULT)/latex". See the OCamldoc-manual for details and the
+  optional variables below for settings you can control.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+                           Handling subprojects
+
+  You can have several targets in the same directory and manage them
+  from within an single Makefile.
+
+  Give each subproject a name, e.g. "p1", "p2", etc. Then you export
+  settings specific to each project by using variables of the form
+  "PROJ_p1", "PROJ_p2", etc.  E.g.:
+
+    define PROJ_p1
+      SOURCES="foo.ml main.ml"
+      RESULT="p1"
+      OCAMLFLAGS="-unsafe"
+    endef
+    export PROJ_p1
+
+    define PROJ_p2
+      ...
+    endef
+    export PROJ_p2
+
+  You may also export common settings used by all projects directly, e.g.
+  "export THREADS = y".
+
+  Now it is a good idea to define, which projects should be affected by
+  commands by default.  E.g.:
+
+    ifndef SUBPROJS
+      export SUBPROJS = p1 p2
+    endif
+
+  This will automatically generate a given target for all those
+  subprojects if this variable has not been defined in the shell
+  environment or in the command line of the make-invocation by the user.
+  E.g., "make dc" will generate debug code for all subprojects.
+
+  Then you need to define a default action for your subprojects if "make"
+  has been called without arguments:
+
+    all: bc
+
+  This will build byte code by default for all subprojects.
+
+  Finally, you'll have to define a catch-all target that uses the target
+  provided by the user for all subprojects. Just add (assuming that
+  OCAMLMAKEFILE has been defined appropriately):
+
+    %:
+            @make -f $(OCAMLMAKEFILE) subprojs SUBTARGET=$@
+
+  See the "threads"-directory in the distribution for a short example!
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+         Optional variables that may be passed to "OCamlMakefile"
+
+  * LIB_PACK_NAME - packs all modules of a library into a module whose
+                    name is given in variable "LIB_PACK_NAME".
+
+  * RES_CLIB_SUF  - when building a library that contains C-stubs, this
+                    variable controls the suffix appended to the name
+                    of the C-library (default: "_stubs").
+
+  * THREADS       - say "THREADS = yes" if you need thread support compiled in,
+                    otherwise leave it away.
+
+  * VMTHREADS     - say "VMTHREADS = yes" if you want to force VM-level
+                    scheduling of threads (byte-code only).
+
+  * ANNOTATE      - say "ANNOTATE = yes" to generate type annotation files
+                    (.annot) to support displaying of type information
+                    in editors.
+
+  * USE_CAMLP4    - say "USE_CAMLP4 = yes" in your "Makefile" if you
+                    want to include the camlp4 directory during the
+                    build process, otherwise leave it away.
+
+  * INCDIRS       - directories that should be searched for ".cmi"- and
+                    ".cmo"-files.  You need not write "-I ..." - just the
+                    plain names.
+  * LIBDIRS       - directories that should be searched for libraries
+                    Also just put the plain paths into this variable
+  * EXTLIBDIRS    - Same as "LIBDIRS", but paths in this variable are
+                    also added to the binary via the "-R"-flag so that
+                    dynamic libraries in non-standard places can be found.
+  * RESULTDEPS    - Targets on which results (executables or libraries)
+                    should additionally depend.
+
+  * PACKS         - adds packages under control of "findlib".
+
+  * PREDS         - specifies "findlib"-predicates.
+
+  * LIBS          - OCaml-libraries that should be linked (just plain names).
+                    E.g. if you want to link the Str-library, just write
+                    "str" (without quotes).
+                    The new OCaml-compiler handles libraries in such
+                    a way that they "remember" whether they have to
+                    be linked against a C-library and it gets linked
+                    in automatically.
+                    If there is a slash in the library name (such as
+                    "./str" or "lib/foo") then make is told that the
+                    generated files depend on the library.  This
+                    helps to ensure that changes to your libraries are
+                    taken into account, which is important if you are
+                    regenerating your libraries frequently.
+  * CLIBS         - C-libraries that should be linked (just plain names).
+
+  * PRE_TARGETS   - set this to a list of target files that you want
+                    to have buildt before dependency calculation actually
+                    takes place. E.g. use this to automatically compile
+                    modules needed by camlp4, which have to be available
+                    before other modules can be parsed at all.
+
+                    ** WARNING **: the files mentioned in this variable
+                    will be removed when "make clean" is executed!
+
+  * LIBINSTALL_FILES - the files of a library that should be installed
+                       using "findlib". Default:
+
+                         $(RESULT).mli $(RESULT).cmi $(RESULT).cma
+                         $(RESULT).cmxa $(RESULT).a lib$(RESULT).a
+
+  * OCAML_LIB_INSTALL - target directory for "rawinstall/rawuninstall".
+                        (default: $(OCAMLLIBPATH)/contrib)
+
+  * DOC_FILES     - names of files from which documentation is generated.
+                    (default: all .mli-files in your $(SOURCES)).
+
+  * DOC_DIR       - name of directory where documentation should be stored.
+
+  * OCAMLFLAGS    - flags passed to the compilers
+  * OCAMLBCFLAGS  - flags passed to the byte code compiler only
+  * OCAMLNCFLAGS  - flags passed to the native code compiler only
+
+  * OCAMLLDFLAGS  - flags passed to the OCaml-linker
+  * OCAMLBLDFLAGS - flags passed to the OCaml-linker when linking byte code
+  * OCAMLNLDFLAGS - flags passed to the OCaml-linker when linking
+                    native code
+

+
+  * OCAMLCPFLAGS  - profiling flags passed to "ocamlcp" (default: "a")
+
+  * PPFLAGS       - additional flags passed to the preprocessor (default: none)
+
+  * LFLAGS        - flags passed to "ocamllex"
+  * YFLAGS        - flags passed to "ocamlyacc"
+  * IDLFLAGS      - flags passed to "camlidl"
+
+  * OCAMLDOCFLAGS - flags passed to "ocamldoc"
+
+  * OCAMLFIND_INSTFLAGS - flags passed to "ocamlfind" during installation
+                          (default: none)
+
+  * DVIPSFLAGS    - flags passed to dvips
+                    (when generating documentation in PostScript).
+
+  * STATIC        - set this variable if you want to force creation
+                    of static libraries
+
+  * CC            - the C-compiler to be used
+  * CXX           - the C++-compiler to be used
+
+  * CFLAGS        - additional flags passed to the C-compiler.
+                    The flag "-DNATIVE_CODE" will be passed automatically
+                    if you choose to build native code. This allows you
+                    to compile your C-files conditionally. But please
+                    note: You should do a "make clean" or remove the
+                    object files manually or touch the %.c-files:
+                    otherwise, they may not be correctly recompiled
+                    between different builds.
+
+  * CXXFLAGS      - additional flags passed to the C++-compiler.
+
+  * CPPFLAGS      - additional flags passed to the C-preprocessor.
+
+  * CFRAMEWORKS   - Objective-C framework to pass to linker on MacOS X.

+
+  * RPATH_FLAG    - flag passed through to the C-linker to set a path for

+                    exotic platforms.  (default: "-R").
+
+  * ELF_RPATH_FLAG - this flag is used to set the rpath on ELF-platforms.
+                     (default: "-R")
+
+  * ELF_RPATH     - if this flag is "yes", then the RPATH_FLAG will be
+                    passed by "-Wl" to the linker as normal on
+                    ELF-platforms.
+
+  * OCAMLLIBPATH  - path to the OCaml-standard-libraries
+                    (first default: `$(OCAMLC) -where`)
+                    (second default: "/usr/local/lib/ocaml")
+
+  * OCAML_DEFAULT_DIRS - additional path in which the user can supply
+                         default directories to his own collection of
+                         libraries.  The idea is to pass this as an environment
+                         variable so that the Makefiles do not have to contain
+                         this path all the time.

+
+  * QUIET         - unsetting this variable (e.g. "make QUIET=")
+                    will print all executed commands, including
+                    intermediate ones. This allows more comfortable

+
+  * OCAMLMAKEFILE - location of (=path to) this "OCamlMakefile".
+                    Because it calles itself recursively, it has to

+                    local directory)
+
+  * BCSUFFIX      - Suffix for all byte-code files. E.g.:
+
+                      RESULT   = foo
+                      BCSUFFIX = _bc
+
+                    This will produce byte-code executables/libraries
+                    with basename "foo_bc".
+
+  * NCSUFFIX      - Similar to "BCSUFFIX", but for native-code files.
+  * TOPSUFFIX     - Suffix added to toplevel interpreters (default: ".top")
+
+  * SUBPROJS      - variable containing the names of subprojects to be
+                    compiled.
+
+  * SUBTARGET     - target to be built for all projects in variable
+                    SUBPROJS.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+                    Optional variables for Windows users
+
+  * MINGW         - variable to detect the MINGW-environment
+  * MSVC          - variable to detect the MSVC-compiler

+
+Using Thrift with Perl
+=====================
+
+Thrift requires Perl >= 5.6.0
+
+Exceptions are thrown with die so be sure to wrap eval{} statments
+around any code that contains exceptions.
+
+The 64bit Integers work only upto 2^42 on my machine :-?
+Math::BigInt is probably needed.
+
+Please see tutoral and test dirs for examples...
+
+Dependencies
+============
+
+Bit::Vector     - comes with modern perl installations.
+Class::Accessor

+
+Using Thrift with PHP
+=====================
+
+Thrift requires PHP 5. Thrift makes as few assumptions about your PHP
+environment as possible while trying to make some more advanced PHP
+features (i.e. APC cacheing using asbolute path URLs) as simple as possible.
+
+To use Thrift in your PHP codebase, take the following steps:
+
+#1) Copy all of thrift/lib/php/src into your PHP codebase
+#2) Set $GLOBALS['THRIFT_ROOT'] to the path you installed Thrift
+#3) include_once $GLOBALS['THRIFT_ROOT'].'/Thrift.php';
+
+Note that #3 must be done before including any other Thrift files.
+If you do not do #2, Thrift.php will set this global for you, but it will be
+done using dirname(__FILE__), which is less efficient than providing the static
+string yourself.
+
+When you generate a Thrift package using the compiler, it makes an assumption
+about where your generated code will live. If your file is "MyPackage.thrift",
+the generated files must be installed into:
+
+$GLOBALS['THRIFT_ROOT'].'/packages/MyPackage/';
+
+This allows the code generator to compile your code without any extra flags
+for the target directory names while still allowing your include paths to

+PHP_INT_SIZE
+
+  This built-in signals whether your architecture is 32 or 64 bit and is

+
+apc_fetch(), apc_store()
+
+  APC cache is used by the TSocketPool class. If you do not have APC installed,

+Building PHP Thrift Services with Apache
+========================================
+
+Thrift can be embedded in the Apache webserver with PHP installed. Sample
+code is provided below. Note that to make requests to this type of server
+you must use a THttpClient transport.

+
+Using Thrift with Python
+========================
+
+Thrift is provided as a set of Python packages. The top level package is
+thrift, and there are subpackages for the protocol, transport, and server
+code. Each package contains modules using standard Thrift naming conventions
+(i.e. TProtocol, TTransport) and implementations in corresponding modules
+(i.e. TSocket).  There is also a subpackage reflection, which contains
+the generated code for the reflection structures.
+
+The Python libraries can be installed manually using the provided setup.py
+file, or automatically using the install hook provided via autoconf/automake.
+To use the latter, become superuser and do make install.

+
+== DESCRIPTION:
+
+Thrift is a strongly-typed language-agnostic RPC system.
+This library is the ruby implementation for both clients and servers.
+
+== INSTALL:
+
+  $ gem install thrift
+
+== CAVEATS:
+
+This library provides the client and server implementations of thrift.
+It does <em>not</em> provide the compiler for the .thrift files. To compile
+.thrift files into language-specific implementations, please download the full
+thrift software package.
+
+== USAGE:
+
+This section should get written by someone with the time and inclination.
+In the meantime, look at existing code, such as the benchmark or the tutorial
+in the full thrift distribution.

+
+Library
+=======
+
+To get started, just file in thrift.st with Squeak, run thrift -st
+on the tutorial .thrift files (and file in the resulting code), and
+then:
+
+calc := CalculatorClient binaryOnHost: 'localhost' port: '9090'
+calc addNum1: 10 num2: 15
+
+Tested in Squeak 3.7, but should work fine with anything later.

+
+Tutorial
+========
+
+1) First things first, you'll need to install the Thrift compiler and the
+   language libraries. Do that using the instructions in the top level
+   README file.
+
+2) Read tutorial.thrift to learn about the syntax of a Thrift file
+
+3) Compile the code for the language of your choice:
+
+     $ thrift
+     $ thrift -r --gen cpp tutorial.thrift
+
+4) Take a look at the generated code.
+
+5) Look in the language directories for sample client/server code.
+
+6) That's about it for now. This tutorial is intentionally brief. It should be
+   just enough to get you started and ready to build your own project.

+# Thrift Tutorial
+# Mark Slee (mcslee@facebook.com)
+#
+# This file aims to teach you how to use Thrift, in a .thrift file. Neato. The
+# first thing to notice is that .thrift files support standard shell comments.
+# This lets you make your thrift file executable and include your Thrift build
+# step on the top line. And you can place comments like this anywhere you like.
+#
+# Before running this file, you will need to have installed the thrift compiler
+# into /usr/local/bin.
+
+/**
+ * The first thing to know about are types. The available types in Thrift are:
+ *
+ *  bool        Boolean, one byte
+ *  byte        Signed byte
+ *  i16         Signed 16-bit integer
+ *  i32         Signed 32-bit integer
+ *  i64         Signed 64-bit integer
+ *  double      64-bit floating point value
+ *  string      String
+ *  binary      Blob (byte array)
+ *  map<t1,t2>  Map from one type to another
+ *  list<t1>    Ordered list of one type
+ *  set<t1>     Set of unique elements of one type
+ *
+ * Did you also notice that Thrift supports C style comments?
+ */
+
+// Just in case you were wondering... yes. We support simple C comments too.
+
+/**
+ * Thrift files can reference other Thrift files to include common struct
+ * and service definitions. These are found using the current path, or by
+ * searching relative to any paths specified with the -I compiler flag.
+ *
+ * Included objects are accessed using the name of the .thrift file as a
+ * prefix. i.e. shared.SharedObject
