# HBase ThriftServer

[Apache Thrift](http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase/ThriftApi) is a
cross-platform, cross-language development framework. HBase includes a Thrift 
API and filter language. The Thrift API relies on client and server processes.
Thrift is both cross-platform and more lightweight than REST for many operations.

From 1.0 thrift can enable impersonation for other service 
[like hue][hue-hbase-impersonation].
