Thrift-demo is written so other engineers could understand how to use Thrift, and how to make Thrift RPC calls. It supports PHP and Go, with Scala to be added soon. By default, all binary protocol is used together with HTTP transport. You can easily change protocol - just use different protocol class. Remember you have to change both server and client code. Changing transport is slightly more difficult and it isn't covered by this demo.
You need to start only one server and then use any client to make Thrift RPC calls. All calls to be made from root directory.
Thrift generated files are already included in this repository (under gen-go and gen-php). If you
want to rebuild, you can run make (the output should be the same if Thrift version is 0.9.3).
To start a PHP server, run:
php -S localhost:8080 php/server.php
To start Go server, symlink this repo to $GOHOME/src/. Then, run
go run go/server.go
TODO
When running client, make sure server is up and running. Otherwise, you will get Thrift exception connection refused.
To run a PHP client, run following:
php php/client.php
To run a Go client script, symlink this repo to $GOHOME/src (if already not done), and execute:
go run go/client.go
