Description

The generated erlang libraries make heavy use of service metadata to function, but omit key aspects of the thrift service, such as the names of the generated functions, enums and structs.

Not having these metadadata makes writing libraries much more difficult. The included patch adds these metadata. It will make projects like http://github.com/pinterest/riffed/ much better.
