// Package thrift implements Thrift encoding support for YARPC.
//
// To use this package, you must install ThriftRW 1.0 or newer.
//
// 	go get go.uber.org/thriftrw
//
// You must also install the ThriftRW plugin for YARPC.
//
// 	go get go.uber.org/yarpc/encoding/thrift/thriftrw-plugin-yarpc
//
// To generate YARPC compatible code from a Thrift file, use the command,
//
// 	thriftrw --plugin yarpc myservice.thrift
//
// In addition to generating code for types specified in your Thrift file,
// this will generate the following packages for each service in the file: a
// client package, a server package, a test package, and an UberFx module.
//
// 	myservice
// 	   |- myserviceclient
// 	   |- myserviceserver
// 	   |- myservicefx
// 	   |- myservicetest
//
// The client package allows sending requests through a YARPC dispatcher.
//
// 	client := myserviceclient.New(dispatcher.ClientConfig("myservice"))
//
// The server package facilitates registration of service implementations with
// a YARPC dispatcher.
//
// 	handler := myHandler{}
// 	dispatcher.Register(myserviceserver.New(handler))
//
// The test package provides a gomock-compatible mock client for the service.
//
// 	mockCtrl := gomock.NewController(t)
// 	client := myservicetest.NewMockClient(mockCtrl)
// 	client.EXPECT().Hello(request).Return(response, nil)
//
// The Fx package provides an UberFx-compatible constructor for service
// clients. This may be used with Provide to make service clients available in
// the container.
//
// 	fx.Provide(myservicefx.Client("myservice"))
//
// The Fx package also provides an UberFx-compatible constructor for
// registering service procedures. This expects an instance of the service
// interface to be available in the container and provides the list of
// procedures resulting from that to the "yarpcfx" value group.
//
// 	fx.Provide(
// 		myservicefx.Server(),
// 		NewMyServiceHandler,  // func(...) myserviceserver.Interface
// 	)
//
// Automatically Building Clients
//
// All clients generated by the YARPC ThriftRW plugin are compatible with
// YARPC's yarpc.InjectClients function.
//
// 	var handler struct{ Client keyvalueclient.Interface `service:"keyvalue"` }
// 	yarpc.Injectclients(dispatcher, &handler)
//
// These clients may further be customized by providing a "thrift" tag. The
// following options may be provided on the tag using a comma-separated list.
//
// 	enveloped:   Requests and responses will be wrapped inside a standard
// 	             Apache Thrift envelope. This flag is needed to call existing
// 	             Apache Thrift services with clients generated by YARPC.
// 	             Equivalent to passing thrift.Enveloped.
// 	multiplexed: Requests are being sent to an Apache Thrift server which has
// 	             multiplexing enabled. Equivalent to passing
// 	             thrift.Multiplexed. This option has no effect if enveloped
// 	             was not set.
//
// For example,
//
// 	type handler struct {
// 		Client keyvalueclient.Interface `service:"keyvalue" thrift:"multiplexed,enveloped"`
// 	}
//
// 	var h handler
// 	yarpc.Injectclients(dispatcher, &h)
//
// Calling Existing Apache Thrift Services
//
// You can call existing Apache Thrift services with YARPC by passing in the
// thrift.Enveloped option when constructing the corresponding clients.
//
// 	client := myserviceclient.New(dispatcher.ClientConfig("myservice"), thrift.Enveloped)
//
// With yarpc.InjectClients, you can pass the tag `thrift:"enveloped"` to
// enable this option on automatically instantiated clients.
//
// 	type handler struct {
// 		Client myserviceclient.Interface `service:"myservice" thrift:"enveloped"`
// 	}
//
// 	var h handler
// 	yarpc.InjectClients(dispatcher, &h)
//
// Automatically Sanitizing TChannel Contexts
//
// Contexts created with `tchannel.ContextWithHeaders` are incompatible with YARPC clients generated from Thrift.
// Using such a context will cause a YARPC client to error on any call. Using the `sanitize-tchannel` flag will
// generate a YARPC client such that all TChannel headers from any context supplied are removed before making a YARPC call.
// The option can be used like so:
//
// 	thriftrw --plugin "yarpc --sanitize-tchannel" myservice.thrift
