binary can't be null in 0.5
---------------------------

                 Key: THRIFT-1077
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1077
             Project: Thrift
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: C++ - Library
    Affects Versions: 0.5
         Environment: Mac Snow leopard
            Reporter: Billy Newport
            Priority: Blocker
             Fix For: 0.5


I had code working on thrift 0.3. I had a java server and C++ client. I have a 
thrift method like:


        binary get(1:string mapName, 2:binary key)

This used to return null when the key isn't found. It used to return a byte[]. 
I noticed that 0.5 uses ByteBuffers everywhere instead of byte[]s so I 
converted my server. This method implementation returns null if the key isn't 
found but this fails on the client side with a:


terminate called after throwing an instance of 
'apache::thrift::TApplicationException'
  what():  get failed: unknown result

Do I need to handle null binaries with a special code or exception now? This is 
clearly different behavior than was present in 0.3
