-------------------------------------
Summary: _isset entries shouldn't be generated for non-optional
fields
Key: THRIFT-2473
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2473
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Vitali Lovich
There's quite a bit of memory overhead (4 bytes per field) that's wasted on
every single type. The __isset field is unused by the thrift type for fields
not annotated optional.
Additionally, it causes confusion in program code since people never know
whether or not the __isset struct can be checked for a particular field or not
(e.g. for non-optional fields it would never get set normally unless you
deserialized it).
