Thrift Protocol

This config routes thrift (via buffered transport using the TCompactProtocol) from port 4004 to port 5005

yaml

routers:
- protocol: thrift
  label: port-shifter
  dtab: |
    /svc => /$/inet/127.1/5005;
  thriftProtocol: compact
  servers:
  - port: 4004
    ip: 0.0.0.0
    thriftFramed: false
  client:
    thriftFramed: false

protocol: thrift

If the TTwitter thrift protocol is used, the value from the dest request header will be used for routing:

Dtab Path Format For Thrift

  / dstPrefix [/ dest] [/ thriftMethod ]

Otherwise, the Thrift protocol does not encode a destination name in the message itself and the dest part of the path will be absent.

Thrift Router Parameters

Key	Default Value	Description
dstPrefix	`/svc`	A path prefix used in `dtab`.
thriftMethodInDst	`false`	If `true`, thrift method names are appended to destinations for outgoing requests.
thriftProtocol	`binary`	Either `binary` (TBinaryProtocol) or `compact` (TCompactProtocol). Applies to both clients and servers.

Thrift Server Parameters

Key	Default Value	Description
port	`4114`	The TCP port number.
thriftFramed	`true`	If `true`, a framed thrift transport is used for incoming requests; otherwise, a buffered transport is used. Typically this setting matches the router's `thriftFramed` param.

Thrift Client Parameters

Key	Default Value	Description
thriftFramed	`true`	If `true`, a framed thrift transport is used for outgoing requests; otherwise, a buffered transport is used. Typically this setting matches the router's servers' `thriftFramed` param.
attemptTTwitterUpgrade	`false`	Controls whether thrift protocol upgrade should be attempted.
