Introduction
============
-Thrift is a lightweight, language-independent software stack with an
-associated code generation mechanism for point-to-point RPC. Thrift provides
-clean abstractions for data transport, data serialization, and application
-level processing. The code generation system takes a simple definition
-language as input and generates code across programming languages that
-uses the abstracted stack to build interoperable RPC clients and servers.
