RPC-Thrift简单应用

Thrift是Facebook开源的一款RPC框架，使用起来非常方便。下面举一个简单的小例子。

安装包下载

wget http://www.apache.org/dist//thrift/0.9.3/thrift-0.9.3.tar.gz -O thrift-0.9.3.tar.gz

安装这个需要可能需要先升级bison

wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bison/bison-2.5.1.tar.gz
tar xvf bison-2.5.1.tar.gz
cd bison-2.5.1
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install
cd ..

例子

一个调用远程服务的计算器应用
calculator.thrift

service Calculator {
    string calc(1:string expr)
}

执行thrift –gen py calclulator.thrift
自动生成gen-py目录，里面含有对Calculator的一些定义代码

server.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

import socket
import sys
sys.path.append('./gen-py')

from calculator import Calculator
from calculator.ttypes import *

from thrift.transport import TSocket
from thrift.transport import TTransport
from thrift.protocol import TBinaryProtocol
from thrift.server import TServer

class CalculatorHandler:
  def calc(self, msg):
    res = eval(msg)
    return str(res)

handler = CalculatorHandler()
processor = Calculator.Processor(handler)
transport = TSocket.TServerSocket("localhost", 9090)
tfactory = TTransport.TBufferedTransportFactory()
pfactory = TBinaryProtocol.TBinaryProtocolFactory()

server = TServer.TSimpleServer(processor, transport, tfactory, pfactory)

print "Starting thrift server in python..."
server.serve()
print "done!"

client.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
sys.path.append('./gen-py')

from calculator import Calculator

from thrift import Thrift
from thrift.transport import TSocket
from thrift.transport import TTransport
from thrift.protocol import TBinaryProtocol

try:
    transport = TSocket.TSocket('localhost', 9090)
    transport = TTransport.TBufferedTransport(transport)
    protocol = TBinaryProtocol.TBinaryProtocol(transport)
    client = Calculator.Client(protocol)
    transport.open()

    while True:
        data = raw_input("input data: ")
        if len(data) == 0: break
        print "length of data: ", len(data)

        op_res = client.calc(data)
        print "received from server side:  " + op_res
        print "--------------------------------"

    transport.close()

except Thrift.TException, ex:
    print "%s" % (ex.message)

开启server端服务

./server.py
Starting thrift server in python...

然后开启client端

./client.py
input data: 1+3
length of data:  3
received from server side:  4
--------------------------------
input data: 2*5
length of data:  3
received from server side:  10
--------------------------------
input data: 2**3
length of data:  4
received from server side:  8
--------------------------------
input data:
