Description

The rust crate for thrift right now has the ability to create a server but only over a TCP socket.

pub fn listen<A: ToSocketAddrs>(&mut self, listen_address: A) -> thrift::Result<()> 

The API requires the trait ToSocketAddrs to be implemented which is not possible for a Unix Domain Socket.

Other libraries, for example, python has an option to serve over unix sockets. eg

TSocket.TServerSocket(unix_socket='/tmp/service.sock')

It would be really nice to be able to get a similar API in rust as well unless there is a way to do it already. Please let me know if it already exists.
