[jira] Commented: (THRIFT-34) Java libraries should be namespaced under org.apache.thrift, not com.facebook.thrift

["Mark Slee (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-34?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12603726#action_12603726 ] 

Mark Slee commented on THRIFT-34:
---------------------------------

This needs to be done in most of the programming languages. Does Apache have standardized namespaces for C++ as well? And package names for Python/Ruby etc?

What's the general approach about doing this? Since it's a breaking change for client application code, it seems like it'd be nice not to make this change until a release window occurs, or to offer some period of compatibility (though I'm not sure how to easily enable both mechanisms at once).

> The Java libraries should be namespaced under org.apache.thrift. Currently they are under com.facebook.thrift.
> Also, at the same time, we should delete the protocol, reflection, server, transport, and types directories from lib/java/src. The usual java idiom would be src/org/apache/thrift/protocol (or what have you).
