If it is a bug. I never made time to do the research, but here is
what seems to be happening...
Optional members are not included in the constructor, required members
are. I'm not sure if they ever were, and the constructors were just
manually added after generation or not.
E.g.,
struct ColumnParent1 {
3: required string column_family,
4: optional binary super_column,
}
generates:
public ColumnParent1(String column_family)
{
this();
this.column_family = column_family;
}
whereas:
struct ColumnParent3 {
3: required string column_family,
4: required binary super_column,
}
generates:
public ColumnParent3(String column_family, byte[] super_column)
{
this();
this.column_family = column_family;
this.super_column = super_column;
}
Changing the optional fields to required solves the problem and
creates the necessary constructors, or the required constructors can
be added.
Unfortunately, I'm a thrift noob too. Old-timers, what is the correct behavior?
Gary.
