Thrift IDL

 How does one represent in thrift struct :
1 a long integer field?
2. a const int field (equivalent to 'static final int field' in java) ? 

Thanks!

>> 1 a long integer field?

The term "long" is vague, Thrift is explicit. Use i32 for 32-bit integers, i64 for 64-bit integers. You probably want i64.

>> 2. a const int field (equivalent to 'static final int field' in java) ?

Struct fields can't be constants. If you just want to define a symbolic constant for use in your code you can say:

const i32 MY_CONSTANT = 23423;

Or you can just give a field a default-value if you want, but it won't be immutable.
