> I noticed that the default value for the optional boolean `is_compressed` 
> field of the `DataPageHeaderV2` struct has a default value of `1`. According 
> to the Thrift docs a boolean value is either `true` or `false`. 
> This currently works because the Apache Thrift compiler internally handles 
> bools as ints:

> It may however not work with other Thrift compilers that are more strict 
> about this.
> Based on the docs and a test 
> (https://github.com/apache/thrift/blob/3880a09565a9a1dad028b3679746eafac268c819/test/ThriftTest.thrift#L406)
>  in the Thrift repository it seems that using `true` here is the correct way 
> of defining a default for an optional bool field.
