-------------------------------------------------------------
-1 I'm against it.
That one is contrib stuff and not officially maintained. Installing it with the
compiler is a contradiction in terms. If some project wants to use it, fine.
But that's not the problem of Apache Thrift.

No.

> Apache Hive's
> [hive_metastore.thrift|https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/standalone-metastore/metastore-common/src/main/thrift/hive_metastore.thrift]
> starts with {{include "share/fb303/if/fb303.thrift"}}, and
> {{ThriftHiveMetastore}} extends {{fb303.FacebookService}}. Every project that
> generates a Hive metastore client needs that file on its include path. Thrift
> no longer installs it: contrib/fb303 is not part of the top-level build, and
> the Homebrew 0.24.0 package ships no fb303.thrift. So downstream build
> scripts download it from the Thrift repository at a tag matching their
> runtime version; hms-client-go's scripts/gen-thrift.sh is one example.
> Installing fb303.thrift with the compiler, under
> {{$datadir/thrift/share/fb303/if/}}, and searching that directory after the
> {{-I}} paths, would let {{thrift -r --gen <lang> hive_metastore.thrift}} work
> without the extra step.
> If the project would rather retire fb303, a short note in
> contrib/fb303/README with the file's stable URL would still help consumers of
> the Hive IDL.
