callbacks?
Is there a common and/or obvious way to do callbacks from server to
client? Anything planned?
thanks.

We do something like this with one of our apps. It's actually a daemon that handles all server interactions on behalf of the daemon's Thrift clients. It talks to the Thrift server, and the reply can contain "client work" items. The daemon client's responsibility is to do what the server asks it to do. So a client work could be "send me the next chunk of data".
That's the very simplified description. Works well, but it's synchronous. If you want to do something asynchronous, that's another story.
Best regards,
Rush

Not quite. If I wanted that I'd be pushing for futures (c.f.,
http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2007/05/120674.php ). I'm thinking
more along the lines of starting a thrift RPC, and then having the server
call back to the client to get the next chunk of data, for example.

Is it this what you're trying to do?

Can you describe the scenario/actions you're trying to achieve?
