Nobuaki Sukegawa commented on THRIFT-3359:
------------------------------------------
We can either say C++ is incompatible or the other party is.
C++, Java and C# cannot decode binary fields correctly in TJSONProtocol if the
data length is not multiple of 3 and the other participant encodes them with
Base64 padding. (See THRIFT-3276)
Since the Base64 [spec|https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4648#section-3.2]
mandates padding (unless we explicitly opt out), I think we want to make C++
and others receive padded strings too, besides current unpadded ones.
