Jens Geyer closed THRIFT-3101.
------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
The behaviour (or limitation) you describe is by design. Thrift doesn't allow
{{null}} values in certain places, e.g. as function results or list members.
If you absolutely need to transport null pointers, try this workaround:
{code:title=thrift.idl}
struct element {
1 : optional string data
}
service foobar {
list<element> test( 1: list<element> arg)
}
{code}
The {{optional}} will result in an {{isset}} flag becoming available which can
be used to determine whether or not {{data}} has been set and hence contains
valid data.
> Thrift cannot support the collection whose element is null
