Today I was thinking about a PHP script that uses Thrift to retrieve a couple of results. We have the following Thrift definition:
/* This contains the three things identifying a logging program */
struct Logger {
1: string userName,
2: string hostName,
3: string appName
} /* This is a debug message */
struct Message {
1: Logger origin,
2: string content
} /* This defines the remote logging services */
service RemoteLog { // send a log message to the logserver
oneway void newMessage (1:Message aMessage)
// get list of loggers available
list<Logger> getLoggers ()
// get messages from a specific logger
list<Message> getMessages (1:Logger aLogger, 2:i32 aFromID, 3:i32 aMax)
}However, I'd then have to implement the reverse of the above description. In other words, I am asking the remote logging service for whatever he has received over time. To get this up and running, the following steps have to be taken:
