Description

At the moment we don't check for the thrift version before launching thrift, the error messages are often cryptic upon mismatches.

An explicit check with a clear error message would be nice, like what parquet does: https://github.com/apache/parquet-mr/blob/master/parquet-thrift/pom.xml#L247-L268
