Research direction
Start by locating the README section containing the OSX Homebrew Thrift 0.21.0 instructions and verify the current installation behavior described in the issue. Resolve whether the project will document brew extract or support Thrift 0.22.0, then update the README so the documented installation path works for the required version.

Description
Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.
The README currently states:
“If you’re on OSX and use Homebrew, you can instead install Thrift 0.21.0 with brew and ensure that it comes first in your PATH.”
However, since Thrift 0.22.0 was released on May 23, 2025, the Homebrew formula for Thrift 0.21.0 is no longer available by default. As a result, users following the current instructions will not be able to install the required version.
To resolve this, we should either:
1. Upgrade the project to support Thrift 0.22.0 (not available on maven yet), or
2. Update the README to guide users to install Thrift 0.21.0 using brew extract, for example:
brew tap-new temp/oldthrift
brew extract --version=0.21.0 thrift temp/oldthrift
brew install temp/oldthrift/thrift@0.21.0
