Mike Riley commented on THRIFT-1090:
------------------------------------
I think really instead of documentation the Java generator shouldn't be
clobbering constants defined in separate thrift files.
To the best of my understanding, most users are defining all constants in one
file for each namespace so this doesn't become an issue. Documented or not, it
still doesn't seem like a reasonable constraint for how you're allowed to
define constants.
I have this patched in my local copy to just generate a separate .java file
containing constants for each program (.thrift file) that contains them. This
might not be an ideal solution for everyone but it's how I worked around it.
Any other suggestions?

> Priority: Minor

> A file called "Constants.java" is generated per thrift file that includes any
> constants. This should be documented somewhere because if you have multiple
> thrift files sharing the same namespace there will be clashes.
