.NET Standard Tutorial

Introduction

All Apache Thrift tutorials require that you have:

  1. The Apache Thrift Compiler and Libraries, see Download and Building from Source for more details.
  2. Generated the tutorial.thrift and shared.thrift files:
    thrift -r --gen netstd tutorial.thrift
  3. Followed all prerequisites listed below.

    Client -tr:<transport> -bf:<buffering> -pr:<protocol> [-mc:<numClients>]  [-multiplex]
        will run client with specified arguments (tcp transport and binary protocol by default) and with 1 client

Options:
    -tr (transport): 
        tcp - (default) tcp transport  (localhost:9090)
        tcptls - tcp tls transport  (localhost:9090)
        namedpipe - namedpipe transport  (pipe "".test"")
        http - http transport  (http://localhost:9090)

    -bf (buffering): 
        none - (default) no buffering 
        buffered - buffered transport 
        framed - framed transport 

    -pr (protocol): 
        binary - (default) binary protocol 
        compact - compact protocol 
        json - json protocol 

    -multiplex - adds multiplexed protocol

    -mc (multiple clients):
        <numClients> - number of multiple clients to connect to server (max 100, default 1)
