Description

Thrift 0.5 has been released already and we want to upgrade to at least 0.3 but 0.5 has a lot of improvements so that would be the best.

Unfortunately the Java lib has changed so that we'll have to regenerate the current Thrift interface and fix the implementation (byte[] -> ByteBuffer).

They also have problems getting Thrift into a Maven repository so we'll need to do our current workaround again unfortunately and upload it to a repository. That would be Ryan's I think?

I'll upload an updated thrift jar and a patch for the old Thrift code.
