[jira] [Closed] (THRIFT-3979) offer TExtendedBinaryProtocol for customers

["Jens Geyer (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3979?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jens Geyer closed THRIFT-3979.
------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix
      Assignee: Jens Geyer

Closed as WONTFIX, the recommended solution is to use {{THeader}} instead. As aside effect, this should help with making {{THeader}} available with more languages. 

Yes, we want your {{THeader}} patch! :-)

> Sometimes, customers wanna put some options (whatever customers want) in each request and response. And these options ought to be transparent for applications.
> Unfortunately, thrift protocol does not have good extensibility for extra functionalities. I would like to propose the following solution to address this issue.
> 1. TMessage adds a new field called "options"
> 2. customers set "options"
> 3. TExtendedBinaryProtocol writes "options" when "writeMessageBegin" invoked
> 4. TExtendedBinaryProtocol reads "options" when "readMessageBegin" invoked
