Rust Thrift library
Overview
This crate implements the components required to build a working Thrift server and client. It is divided into the following modules:
- errors
- protocol
- transport
- server
- autogen
The modules are layered as shown. The generated
layer is code generated by the
Thrift compiler's Rust plugin. It uses the components defined in this crate to
serialize and deserialize types and implement RPC. Users interact with these
types and services by writing their own code on top.

Using this crate
Add thrift = "x.y.z"
to your Cargo.toml
, where x.y.z
is the version of the
Thrift compiler you're using.

Compatibility
The Rust library and auto-generated code targets Rust versions 1.28+. It does not currently use any Rust 2021 features.
Breaking Changes
Breaking changes are minimized. When they are made they will be outlined below with transition guidelines.
Thrift 0.15.0
-
[THRIFT-5360] - No longer define OR generate
description()
methods forError
types.Error.description()
was soft-deprecated in 1.27, and deprecated as of 1.41. Library error types also do not implementError.description()
. Also, as a result of this change the generated Rust representation of an Error no longer implements theError.description()
method. Instead, it generates aDisplay
impl with the same information.For example:
exception Xception { 1: i32 errorCode, 2: string message }
used to generate:
use std::error::Error; use std::fmt; use std::fmt::{Display, Formatter}; // auto-generated by the Thrift compiler #[derive(Clone, Debug, Eq, Ord, PartialEq, PartialOrd)] pub struct Xception { pub error_code: Option<i32>, pub message: Option<String>, } // auto-generated by the Thrift compiler impl Error for Xception { fn description(&self) -> &str { "remote service threw Xception" } } // auto-generated by the Thrift compiler impl From<Xception> for thrift::Error { fn from(e: Xception) -> Self { thrift::Error::User(Box::new(e)) } } // auto-generated by the Thrift compiler impl Display for Xception { fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter) -> fmt::Result { self.description().format(f) } }
It now generates:
use std::error::Error; use std::fmt; use std::fmt::{Display, Formatter}; // auto-generated by the Thrift compiler #[derive(Clone, Debug, Eq, Ord, PartialEq, PartialOrd)] pub struct Xception { pub error_code: Option<i32>, pub message: Option<String>, } // auto-generated by the Thrift compiler impl Error for Xception { } // auto-generated by the Thrift compiler impl From<Xception> for thrift::Error { fn from(e: Xception) -> Self { thrift::Error::User(Box::new(e)) } } // auto-generated by the Thrift compiler impl Display for Xception { fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter) -> fmt::Result { write!(f, "remote service threw Xception") } }
-
[THRIFT-5314] - Generate enums implementations that are forward compatible (i.e. don't error on unknown values)
As a result of this change the Rust representation of an enum changes from a standard Rust enum into a newtype struct with associated constants.
For example:
// THRIFT enum Operation { ADD, SUBTRACT, MULTIPLY, DIVIDE, }
used to generate:
// OLD AUTO-GENERATED RUST pub enum Operation { Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide, }
It now generates:
// NEW AUTO-GENERATED RUST pub struct Operation(pub i32); impl Operation { pub const ADD: Operation = Operation(0); pub const SUBTRACT: Operation = Operation(1); pub const MULTIPLY: Operation = Operation(2); pub const DIVIDE: Operation = Operation(3); }
Thrift 0.14.0
-
[THRIFT-5158] - Rust library and generator now support Rust 2021 only. Required rust 1.61.0 or higher
The Rust
thrift
library was updated to Rust 2021 viacargo fix --edition
. All test code in the repo was updated as well. The code generator was also updated to support Rust 2021 only.
Thrift 0.13.0
-
[THRIFT-4536] - Use TryFrom from std, required rust 1.34.0 or higher
Previously TryFrom was from try_from crate, it is now from the std library, but this functionality is only available in rust 1.34.0. Additionally, ordered-float is now re-exported under the thrift module to reduce possible dependency mismatches.
Thrift 0.12.0
-
[THRIFT-4529] - Rust enum variants are now camel-cased instead of uppercased to conform to Rust naming conventions
Previously, enum variants were uppercased in the auto-generated code. For example, the following thrift enum:
// THRIFT enum Operation { ADD, SUBTRACT, MULTIPLY, DIVIDE, }
used to generate:
// OLD AUTO-GENERATED RUST pub enum Operation { ADD, SUBTRACT, MULTIPLY, DIVIDE, }
It now generates:
// NEW AUTO-GENERATED RUST pub enum Operation { Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide, }
You will have to change all enum variants in your code to use camel-cased names. This should be a search and replace.

Bug reports and PRs are always welcome! Please see the Thrift website for more details.
Thrift Rust support requires code in several directories:
compiler/cpp/src/thrift/generate/t_rs_generator.cc
: binding code generatorlib/rs
: runtime librarylib/rs/test
: supplemental teststutorial/rs
: tutorial client and servertest/rs
: cross-language test client and server
All library code, test code and auto-generated code compiles and passes clippy without warnings. All new code must do the same! When making changes ensure that:
