> Currently, if you set a top-level module for thrift/ruby that's the same name as an inner class, thrift does not reference the top level appropriately. Example bad code:
> .thrift:
>   namespace rb Cassandra
> .rb:
>     module Cassandra
>       module Cassandra
>         class Client
>         ...
>           COLUMN_PARENT => {:type => ::Thrift::Types::STRUCT, :name => 'column_parent', :class => Cassandra::ColumnParent},
> Ruby checks the inner module first, and does not find the class, raising an error. 
> The fix is to have every place that references the top-level module prepend it with '::':
>           COLUMN_PARENT => {:type => ::Thrift::Types::STRUCT, :name => 'column_parent', :class => ::Cassandra::ColumnParent},
