Apache Thrift is a software framework for scalable cross-language services
development. It combines a software stack with a code generation engine to
build services that work efficiently between a large number of languages.
This package contains the Thrift compiler, which turns a .thrift interface
definition into client and server code. The runtime libraries are distributed
separately, through each language's own package manager.
