Can unix socket be used for thrift ruby client?

Question

I'm trying to use thrift, and use ruby as client side. I'm trying to find documentation for how to initialize a ruby client using the unix domain socket.

Is it possible to use thrift on ruby client and use unix domain socket?

Answer 1

Yes. Instead of Thrift::Socket you use:

Thrift::UNIXSocket.new('/path/to/socket')
