Description

This patch builds upon a previously submitted patch that was not accepted (THRIFT-966). The purpose of this patch is to allow TServerSocket to bind to port zero, that is, have the server socket be assigned a port by the OS. This patch provides a way to query the port after the socket has been bound and determine the OS assigned port
