a good and latest apache thrift reference

Question

I am new to apache thrift. Can someone tell me where I can find a good reference for learning thrift. Some of references i have found were somewhat outdated. it's appreciated if it is in Scala.

Answer 1

The best tooling available to date for Scala/Thrift servers is Twitter Finagle.

Start here for basic samples: http://twitter.github.io/finagle/

The bottom of the page goes in slightly more depth.

To get you started, you need:

• SBT build definition

• SBT Scrooge plugin: https://github.com/twitter/sbt-scrooge

• scrooge-core + finagle-thrift dependency

• There's also a Maven alternative if you prefer Maven

• In your project/src/main/scala add a thrift folder.

  If it's a multi-project build, simply add com.twitter.ScroogeSBT.newSettings to a sub-project's settings.

Now you can start defining models in: project/subproject/src/main/thrift/.

namespace java company.firstthrift

struct Test {
   1: required i64 id
}
