    Description

      The current (as of 72ca60d) pattern for TTransport factories in Golang is

      type TTransportFactory interface {
      	GetTransport(trans TTransport) TTransport
      }
      

      This causes issues, because some TTransportFactory implementations can return and error. Consider the THttpClientTransportFactory, which as of of 72ca60d, includes the following snippet:

      	s, _ := NewTHttpClientWithOptions(p.url, p.options)
      	return s
      

      The call to NewTHttpClientWithOptions(...) call can throw errors. The resultant behavior is that nil is returned in place of a valid TTransport, with a nil error.

      The TTransportFactory interface (and associated use patterns) should be extended to include errors.
