What does 'COB' mean in programming?

Question

Is it 'Callback OBject'?

I keep bumping into this acronym when learning Apache Thrift.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Continuation OBject: see line 280 of this source file

Answer 2

Actually it is Continuation Object, see this mailing list discussion.

Answer 3

It means continuity of business. You normally say COB testing servers etc . So if something goes down on main server or due some natural calamity ,you tend to use COB server to keep the business going .
