> When a thrift server is configured to use a fixed port, we will loop 100 times trying to bind to the port which is (likely) going to stay bound. Because the server socket is setting SO_REUSEADDR, we shouldn't have issues where the previous application has died/gone-away, but being unable to bind to it.
> If we're explicitly given a port to start the thrift server on, and are unable to start it, I think it would be better to throw an exception which would kill the process instead of retrying at least 25 seconds first.
> Because we've already copied TNonblockingServerSocket, we can modify the TTransportException thrown with a more meaningful exception and work on getting better semantics in upstream thrift (if necessary).
