I finally got around to writing about my hack project of last year. It was an exploration of what can be done with continuation parsers and encoders in order to implement a very fast single-copy asynchronous Thrift implementation.
Continuation parsers and encoders try to decode (read)/encode (write) their data directly from/to a network buffer. When the buffer has been fully read/written, it asks for more network buffers to continue.
For more information see the thrift-stream repository on GitHub.
