+# Thrift Parameter Validation Proposal
+
+> Version 1.1
+>
+> Dec 15, 2021
+>
+> duanyi.aster@bytedance.com, wangtieju@bytedance.com
+
+### 1. Abstract
+***
+This document presents a proposed set of annotations to the Thrift IDL. The new annotations will supports parameter validation using build-in or third-party validators. The goal of this proposal is to define semantics and behavior of validation annotations, rather than to discuss their implementation.
+
+### 2. Background
+***
+Parameter validation is a common need for web service. In the past, we usually write our validating logics after a RPC message deserialized by thrift. This ways works flexibly enough but restrict poorly: It is dangerous that service A and service B using the same IDL have two different validating rule, which often misdirects developers. Even if we extract our validating codes to a single module, simple and repeated work (ex. `if xx.Field1 > 1 then ...`) is really disturbing. If we can use build tool to generating codes for simple and unchangeable restraint, the web service will be more robust and developers will benefits from lighter work.
+Compared to other IDL, the parameter validation gradually gets strong community supports like PGV ([protoc-gen-validate](https://github.com/envoyproxy/protoc-gen-validate)), benefiting from pb's strong plugin mechanism (lacking official plugin mechanism is one reason for we submit this proposal). Take a long-term view, auto-generated parameter validation may be a step towards code-less web service.
+
+### 3. Proposal
+***
+This proposal includes three part: Validate Annotation Semantics, Validate Rule and Validate Feedback. The first declare how to write a validate annotation, the middle explain how every annotation should behave, the last introduces a mechanism of validating feedback.
+
+#### 3.1 Validate Annotation Semantics
+This semantics uses same rule of [Thrift IDL](https://thrift.apache.org/docs/idl). The validate option only works on struct fields, thus we must start from Field semantics part.
+- Field 
+```peg
+Field <- FieldID? FieldReq? FieldType Identifier ('=' ConstValue)? ValidateAnnotations? ListSeparator?
+```
+- ValidateAnnotations
+```peg
+ValidateAnnotations <- '(' ValidateRule+ ListSeparator? ')'
+```
+- ValidateRule
+```peg
+ValidateRule <- ('validate' | 'vt') Validator+ = '"' ValidatingValue? '"'
+```
+- Validator
+
+    Build-in validating logics. See [Supported Validator](#321-supported-validator) part.
+```peg
+Validator <- '.' Identifier
+```
+- ValidatingValue
+```peg
+ValidatingValue <- (ToolFunction '(' )? Arguments ')'?
+```
+- ToolFunction
+
+    Build-in or user-defined tool functions. See [Tool Function](#325-tool-function) part.
+```peg
+ToolFunction <- '@' Identifier
+```
+- Arguments
+```peg
+Arguments <- (DynamicValue ListSeparator?)*
+```
+- DynamicValue
+```peg
+DynamicValue <- ConstValue | FieldReference
+```
+- FieldReference
+  
+    See [Field Reference](#324-field-reference) part.
+```apache
+FieldReference <- '$' ReferPath
+ReferPath <- FieldName? ( ('['IntConstant']') | ('.'Identifier) )?
+```
+- All other semantics keep same with [standard definition](https://thrift.apache.org/docs/idl)
+
+### 3.2 Validate Rule
+The validate rule is works as a Boolean Expression, and Validator is core logic for one validate rule. Every Validator works like an Operator, calculating the Validating Value and Field Value, and then compare. For example, `gt` (greater than) will compare the right Validating Value with value of the field it belongs to, and return `true` if field value is greater than value or `false` if field value is not. We appoint that: Only if the validate rule returns true, the validated parameter is valid. If there are several validate rules defined in annotations of a field, Validator will take the logical relation as "and". Simply put, commas in annotations can be treated as "and".
+
+
+#### 3.2.1 Supported Validator
+Below lists the support validators. Value type means the type of validating value, field type means type of validated field.

+
+- Basic Regular Expression (BRE), the syntax of BRE can be found in [manual](https://www.gnu.org/software/sed/manual/html_node/BRE-syntax.html) of GNU sed.
+- Secondary validator (`elem`, `key` and `value`) is a successive validator, usually used at container-type field. See below Set/List/Map examples.
+- Add suffix "_escape" to validators to prevent value of rule conflicting with tool function. For example, you can use `"vt.eq_escape" = "@len(A)"` to match literal `@len(A)`.
+
+#### 3.2.2 IDL example
+- Number
+```
+struct NumericDemo{
+    1: double Value (validator.ge = "1000.1", validator.le = "10000.1")
+    2: i8 Type (validator.in = "[1, 2, 4]")
+}
+```
+- String/Binary
+``` 
+struct StringDemo{
+    1: string Uninitialized (vt.const = "abc")
+    2: string Name (vt.min_size = "6", vt.max_size = "12")
+    3: string SomeStuffs (vt.pattern = "[0-9A-Za-z]+")
+    4: string DebugInfo (vt.prefix = "[Debug]")
+    5: string ErrorMessage (vt.contains = "Error")
+}
+```
+- Bool
+```
+struct BoolDemo {
+    1: bool AMD (vt.const = "true")
+}
+```
+- Enum
+```
+enum Type {
+    Bool
+    I8
+    I16
+    I32
+    I64
+    String
+    Struct
+    List
+    Set
+    Map
+}
+
+struct EnumDemo {
+    1: Type AddressType (vt.in = "[String]")
+    2: Type ValueType (vt.defined_only = "true")
+}
+```
+- Set/List
+```
+struct SetListDemo {
+    1: list<string> Persons (vt.min_size = "5", vt.max_size = "10")
+    2: set<double> HealthPoints (vt.elem.gt = "0")
+}
+```
+- Map
+```
+struct MapDemo {
+    1: map<i32, string> IdName (vt.min_size = "5", vt.max_size = "10")
+    2: map<i32, double> Some (vt.key.gt = "0", vt.value.lt = "1000")
+}
+```
+
+#### 3.2.3 Arguments
+Arguments can by static literals or dynamic variables. If one literal expression contains any Field Reference or Tool Function, it becomes dynamic variables. Every dynamic variables finally get calculated and finally become a Thrift Constant Value.
+
+#### 3.2.4 Field Reference
+Field Reference is used to refer to another field's value in Validating Value, therefore user can compare more than one field. The referenced field must be within same struct. Identifier must be the field name referred.
+- Field Reference Rule
+1. `$x` represents a variable named x, and its scope is within current struct
+2. `$` indicates the current field in which the validator is located
+3. `$x['k']` indicates a reference to the key k of variable x (which must be map)
+4. `$x[i]` indicates a reference to the i + 1 element of variable x (which must be list)
+- Example
+```
+struct FieldReferenceExample {
+    1: string A (vt.eq = "$B") //field A must equal to field B
+    2: list<string> C
+}
+```
+
+#### 3.2.5 Tool Function
+Tool Function is use to enhance the operating of Validating Value. For example, if we want to ensure one field is larger than the length of string field A, we can use `len()` function: `vt.gt = "@len($A)"`. The arguments can be either literals or variables, and no size limit. However, we won't suggest any build-in function here, because the category is too big and always language-related. Instead, we only propose one mechanism for thrift developers to extends their implementation according to used language.
+
+Supported functions:
+| function | behavior                | arguments                           | results  | supported language |
+| -------- | ----------------------- | ----------------------------------- | -------- | ------------------ |
+| len      | the length of the field | 1: string, binary, list, set or map | 1. int64 | go                 |
+
+### 3.3 Feedback
+The generated validating codes should be included in struct's `Validate() TApplicationException` method. If all validate rule declared by one struct get passed, the struct's `Validate() TApplicationException` method returns nil (or just returns without exception, depending on specific language implementation); Otherwise it returns `TApplicationException` and report feedback message indicating failure reason. Due to language function implementations are different, we won't constrain the interface of feedback messages. However, by practice we suggest developers to give below three detail information:
+
+- The position where first validating failure happens.
+- The validator who reports the failure.
+- The red-handed field value and validating value when the failure happens

+
+Using Thrift with Common Lisp
+============================
+
+ Thrift is a protocol and library for language-independent communication between cooperating
+ processes. The communication takes the form of request and response messages, of which the forms
+ are specified in advance throufh a shared interface definition. A Thrift definition file is translated
+ into Lisp source files, which comprise several definitions:
+
+  * Three packages, one for the namespace of the implementation operators, and one each for request and
+  response operators.
+  * Various type definitions as implementations for Thrift typedef and enum definitions.
+  * DEF-STRUCT and DEF-EXCEPTION forms for Thrift struct and exception definitions.
+  * DEF-SERVICE forms for thrift service definitions.
+
+ Each service definition expands in a collection of generic function definitions. For each `op`
+ in the service definition, two functions are defined
+
+  * `op`-request is defined for use by a client. It accepts an additional initial `protocol` argument,
+    to act as the client proxy for the operation and mediate the interaction with a remote process
+    through a Thrift-encoded transport stream.
+  * `op`-response is defined for use by a server. It accepts a single `protocol` argument. A server
+    uses it to decode the request message, invoke the base `op` function with the message arguments,
+    encode and send the the result as a response, and handles exceptions.
+
+ The client interface is one operator
+
+  * `with-client (variable location) . body` : creates a connection in a dynamic context and closes it
+    upon exit. The variable is bound to a client proxy stream/protocol instance, which wraps the
+    base i/o stream - socket, file, etc, with an operators which implement the Thrift protocol
+    and transport mechanisms.
+
+ The server interface combines server and service objects
+
+  * `serve (location service)` : accepts connections on the designated port and responds to
+    requests of the service's operations.
+
+
+Building 
+--------
+
+The Thrift Common Lisp library is packaged as the ASDF[[1]] system `thrift`.
+It depends on the systems
+
+* puri[[2]] : for the thrift uri class
+* closer-mop[[3]] : for class metadata
+* trivial-utf-8[[4]] : for string codecs
+* usocket[[5]] : for the socket transport
+* ieee-floats[[6]] : for conversion between ints and floats
+* trivial-gray-streams[[7]] : an abstraction layer for gray streams
+* alexandria[[8]] : handy utilities
+
+The dependencies are bundled for local builds of tests and tutorial binaries - 
+it is possible to use those bundles to load the library, too.
+
+In order to build it, register those systems with ASDF and evaluate:
+
+    (asdf:load-system :thrift)
+
+This will compile and load the Lisp compiler for Thrift definition files, the
+transport and protocol implementations, and the client and server interface
+functions. In order to use Thrift in an application, one must also author and/or
+load the interface definitions for the remote service.[[9]] If one is implementing a service,
+one must also define the actual functions to which Thrift is to act as the proxy
+interface. The remainder of this document follows the Thrift tutorial to illustrate how
+to perform the steps
+
+  * implement the service
+  * translate the Thrift IDL
+  * load the Lisp service interfaces
+  * run a server for the service
+  * use a client to access the service remotely
+
+Note that, if one is to implement a new service, one will also need to author the
+IDL files, as there is no facility to generate them from a service implementation.
+
+
+Implement the Service
+---------------------
+
+The tutorial comprises serveral functions: `add`, `ping`, `zip`, and `calculate`.
+Each translated IDL file generates three packages for every service. In the case of
+the tutorial file, the relevant packages are:
+
+  * tutorial.calculator
+  * tutorial.calculator-implementation
+  * tutorial.calculator-response
+  
+This is to separate the request (generated), response (generated) and implementation
+(meant to be implemented by the programmer) functions for defined Thrift methods.
+
+It is suggested to work in the `tutorial-implementation` package while implementing
+the services - it imports the `common-lisp` package, while the service-specific ones
+don't (to avoid conflicts between Thrift method names and function names in `common-lisp`).
+
+    ;; define the base operations
+    
+    (in-package :tutorial-implementation)
+    
+    (defun tutorial.calculator-implementation:add (num1 num2)
+      (format t "~&Asked to add ~A and ~A." num1 num2)
+      (+ num1 num2))
+    
+    (defun tutorial.calculator-implementation:ping ()
+      (print :ping))
+    
+    (defun tutorial.calculator-implementation:zip ()
+      (print :zip))
+    
+    (defun tutorial.calculator-implementation:calculate (logid task)
+      (calculate-op (work-op task) (work-num1 task) (work-num2 task)))
+    
+    (defgeneric calculate-op (op arg1 arg2)
+      (:method :around (op arg1 arg2)
+        (let ((result (call-next-method)))
+          (format t "~&Asked to calculate: ~d on  ~A and ~A = ~d." op arg1 arg2 result)
+          result))
+    
+      (:method ((op (eql operation.add)) arg1 arg2)
+        (+ arg1 arg2))
+      (:method ((op (eql operation.subtract)) arg1 arg2)
+        (- arg1 arg2))
+      (:method ((op (eql operation.multiply)) arg1 arg2)
+        (* arg1 arg2))
+      (:method ((op (eql operation.divide)) arg1 arg2)
+        (/ arg1 arg2)))
+    
+    (defun zip () (print 'zip))
+
+
+Translate the Thrift IDL
+------------------------
+
+IDL files employ the file extension `thrift`. In this case, there are two files to translate
+  * `tutorial.thrift`
+  * `shared.thrift`
+As the former includes the latter, one uses it to generate the interfaces:
+
+    $THRIFT/bin/thrift -r --gen cl $THRIFT/tutorial/tutorial.thrift
+    
+`-r` stands for recursion, while `--gen` lets one choose the language to translate to.
+
+
+Load the Lisp translated service interfaces
+-------------------------------------------
+
+The translator generates three files for each IDL file. For example `tutorial-types.lisp`,
+`tutorial-vars.lisp` and an `.asd` file that can be used to load them both and pull in
+other includes (like `shared` within the tutorial) as dependencies.
+
+
+Run a Server for the Service
+----------------------------
+
+The actual service name, as specified in the `def-service` form in `tutorial.lisp`, is `calculator`. 
+Each service definition defines a global variable with the service name and binds it to a
+service instance whch describes the operations.
+
+In order to start a service, specify a location and the service instance. 
+
+    (in-package :tutorial)
+    (serve #u"thrift://127.0.0.1:9091" calculator)
+
+
+Use a Client to Access the Service Remotely
+-------------------------------------------
+
+
+[in some other process] run the client
+
+    (in-package :cl-user)
+
+    (macrolet ((show (form)
+                 `(format *trace-output* "~%~s =>~{ ~s~}"
+                          ',form
+                          (multiple-value-list (ignore-errors ,form)))))
+      (with-client (protocol #u"thrift://127.0.0.1:9091")
+        (show (tutorial.calculator:ping protocol))
+        (show (tutorial.calculator:add protocol 1 2))
+        (show (tutorial.calculator:add protocol 1 4))
+    
+        (let ((task (make-instance 'tutorial:work
+                      :op operation.subtract :num1 15 :num2 10)))
+          (show (tutorial.calculator:calculate protocol 1 task))
+        
+          (setf (tutorial:work-op task) operation.divide
+                (tutorial:work-num1 task) 1
+                (tutorial:work-num2 task) 0)
+          (show (tutorial.calculator:calculate protocol 1 task)))
+        
+        (show (shared.shared-service:get-struct protocol 1))
+    
+        (show (zip protocol))))
+
+Issues
+------
+
+### optional fields 
+ Where the IDL declares a field options, the def-struct form includes no
+ initform for the slot and the encoding operator skips an unbound slot. This leave some ambiguity
+ with bool fields.
+
+### instantiation protocol :
+ struct classes are standard classes and exception classes are
+ whatever the implementation prescribes. decoders apply make-struct to an initargs list.
+ particularly at the service end, there are advantages to resourcing structs and decoding
+ with direct side-effects on slot-values
+
+### maps:
+ Maps are now represented as hash tables. As data through the call/reply interface is all statically
+ typed, it is not necessary for the objects to themselves indicate the coding form. Association lists
+ would be sufficient. As the key type is arbitrary, property lists offer no additional convenience:
+ as `getf` operates with `eq` a new access interface would be necessary and they would not be
+ available for function application.
