Thrust

Note: A work in progress. It's not in a useful state right now.

A Rust implementation of the Apache Thrift protocol that simplifies communicating between independent systems that may be implemented in various languages.

Features

• Scalable Thrift RPC
• Rust code generator from a .thrift file.
• Built on-top of Asynchronous I/O via Mio.
• Heavily uses Futures to manage asynchronous code.
• Multiplexing multiple RPC services on a single event-loop.

Installing

[dependencies]
thrust = "*"

You may also want to install the code generator using Cargo:

cargo install thrust

Generating Rust Code

Thrust comes with a thrust binary that compiles your .thrift files into Rust code.

thrust hello.thrift .

The first argument is the input thrift file and the second is the path where you want your Rust file to be written to. The filename will be based on the Rust namespace in your thrift file namespace rust <name>.
