Distributed system with thrift. Is it possible?
When talking about distributed system, Java has JMX and RMI. Is it
possible to build a distributed system, in a way multiple nodes can
talk to other nodes, with thrift? Or is thrift limited to RPC only.
Sorry for the vague question. I am still evaluating thrift for
implementing the dynamo paper.

Hi,
Don't mean to hijack this thread, I have a similar question, is there a
communication framework that can support reliable, full
asynchronous,pipeline style data transfer?
Thanks!

For a more peer-based distributed system, you may want to establish servers
on both sides.
But nothing prevents you from building a distributed system using Thrift.
Can you explain your question a bit more? What characteristics did you
think might make Thrift unsuitable? What is lacking from RPC as a
primitive?

You can use Thrift to communicate between many nodes in a distributed
system. It's still RPC - each node would have to host a server, and other
nodes would have to make a connection to that server to pass information
around.
