Jens Geyer commented on THRIFT-3533:
------------------------------------

I don't know. I understand the idea (after staring at it way too long), but the 
implementation feels strange. As you said, the generator now generates 
{{IsSet()}} for all fields, even the required ones. It suddenly becomes clear 
when you start to realize, that {{IsSet()}} really should be named 
{{IsThisInstanceValidAndTheMemberSet()}} because that's what it does. But even 
then it is strange, because the code is still like this:

{code}
func (p *AuroraSchedulerManagerCreateJobArgs) Write(oprot thrift.TProtocol) 
error {

        // Note that at this point we may have p == null, but let's see how far 
we can go ...

        // p not used here, so we're lucky
        if err := oprot.WriteStructBegin("createJob_args"); err != nil {   
                return thrift.PrependError(fmt.Sprintf("%T write struct begin 
error: ", p), err)
        }

        // This is the first place where p != nil is actually tested. Can you 
see it?
        if err := p.writeField1(oprot); err != nil {     
                return err
        }

        // second place where p != nil is tested
        if err := p.writeField3(oprot); err != nil {    
                return err
        }

        // another place where p != nil is tested
        if err := oprot.WriteFieldStop(); err != nil {    
                return thrift.PrependError("write field stop error: ", err)
        }

        // p not used here, so we're lucky
        if err := oprot.WriteStructEnd(); err != nil {     
                return thrift.PrependError("write struct stop error: ", err)
        }

        // yippie, we're through! 
        return nil
    }

{code}

That just looks strange to me.

@all: Any opinions form other Go'ers?

>          Issue Type: Bug

> If you try to send a nil struct as an argument to a service method a panic 
> occurs as it tries to write out all the fields in the struct, the python 
> generated code has guarding 'if self.x != None:' for every struct field, 
> whereas Go only outputs the 'if p.IsSet()' when the field is declared 
> optional, which is not possible for argument lists.
