Github user jeking3 commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/1215 When this does merge into master, it's probably worth updating the README.md indicating this is a breaking change (for the better). I would like to take a look at how some of the other runtime libraries for Thrift handle required fields as well to see what the consensus behavior is.
