Created attachment 1266494 [details] Force thrift files to be generated during the build Description of problem: After updating thrift to version 0.10.0, Cassandra fails to build from source in F26 and rawhide, due to an API change in libthrift.jar affecting compatibility with thrift generated java files from previous versions. The cassandra upstream appears to version-control the thrift generated source files, and the corresponding Fedora package does not rebuild them during packaging like it should. I've attached a patch which I believe correctly triggers a rebuild of the generated thrift files by deleting the old ones and including the `gen-thrift-java` ant target. However, when I was testing this, I noticed that ant produced messages indicating it was downloading files from Maven Central during the build. This might be a misleading message, and it may or may not be related to adding the gen-thrift-java target to the ant build. This should be verified and corrected by the package maintainers, since Fedora builds should work offline. I'm not proficient with ant, but have begun learning it, and am willing to provide assistance getting things working with the latest thrift.
Thanks for your initiative, I'm currently working on back-porting a patch from upstream that completely removes thrift as a dependency. I think this is the way to go, as the thrift interface is deprecated for a long time and will be gone in the next major version release. I want to make this change before cassandra becomes supported in a stable release of fedora.
