How does thrift work internally?

It combines a software stack with a code generation engine to build services that work efficiently and seamlessly ...

Anyone knows how it works actually?

It's open source... I suggest you start here: http://thrift.apache.org/

you can also read the white paper from that site, good luck

Thrift can be recognized as an Interface Definition Language (IDL) and a higher level of RPC framework as it internally uses RPC calls to do the client server communication. The required RPC client stubs and server skeletons are generated for marshalling and unmarshalling by Thrift for this communication. You only want to worry about writing the Server application, Client Application and the Server implementation which implements the methods of Interfaces inside the generated files.

Thrift use a IDL language to describe the RPC functions. See official site

About the thrift IDL's syntax: See MissingGuide

the Missing Guide maybe about the earlier version of thrift. Usually, Thrift user just gen the auto-generated code of RPC, then change the server's code. Client side programming was just like use a in-process library, and you should care the Thrift exception/error in this situation.

Thrift make cross-language/process programming so easy. Enjoy it.
