Apache Thrift is a binary remoting protocol. Cassandra uses the Thrift protocol to achieve portability across programming languages. Applications written in many different languages can make calls to the Cassandra database using the Thrift protocol.

Splunk AppDynamics is preconfigured to detect business transaction entry points for Cassandra with Thrift framework applications. Note that Binary Remoting entry points are not available as Service Endpoints.

Splunk AppDynamics measures performance data for Thrift transactions as for any other transaction. Thrift entry points are POJO-based. The response time for the transaction is measured from the POJO entry point, and the remote calls are tracked the same way as remote calls for a Servlet's Service method.
