Crate tent_thrift

Rust runtime library for the Apache Thrift RPC system.

This crate implements the components required to build a working Thrift server and client. It is divided into the following modules:

1. errors
2. protocol
3. transport
4. server
5. autogen

The modules are layered as shown in the diagram below. The autogen'd layer is generated by the Thrift compiler’s Rust plugin. It uses the types and functions defined in this crate to serialize and deserialize messages and implement RPC. Users interact with these types and services by writing their own code that uses the auto-generated clients and servers.

+-----------+
| user app  |

| autogen'd | (uses errors, autogen)
+-----------+
|  protocol |
+-----------+
| transport |

Modules

• protocol
  Types used to send and receive primitives between a Thrift client and server.
• server
  Types used to implement a Thrift server.
• transport
  Types used to send and receive bytes over an I/O channel.

Structs

• ApplicationError
  Information about errors in auto-generated code or in user-implemented service handlers.
• OrderedFloat
  A wrapper around floats providing implementations of Eq, Ord, and Hash.
• ProtocolError
  Information about errors that occur in the runtime library.
• TransportError
  Information about I/O errors.

Enums

• ApplicationErrorKind
  Auto-generated or user-implemented code error categories.
• Error
  Error type returned by all runtime library functions.
• ProtocolErrorKind
  Runtime library error categories.
• TransportErrorKind
  I/O error categories.

Traits

• TThriftClient
  Specifies the minimum functionality an auto-generated client should provide to communicate with a Thrift server.

Functions

• new_application_error
  Create a new Error instance of type Application that wraps an ApplicationError.
• new_protocol_error
  Create a new Error instance of type Protocol that wraps a ProtocolError.
• new_transport_error
  Create a new Error instance of type Transport that wraps a TransportError.

Type Definitions

• Result
  Result type returned by all runtime library functions.
