David Reiss resolved THRIFT-139.
--------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> Add reflection-like features to generated classes

> There are a few things I think would increase the usability of generated
> classes:
> * Contain named constants for each field name with its field ID. This would
> allow you to do stuff like MyClass.SOME_FIELD_NAME and get the field ID and
> use it elsewhere. (We use this as a selector for which field in a union-like
> structure is selected.) You could also use the named constants in the
> generated code's read and write methods to more clearly indicate which fields
> are being read or written.
> * Setter and getter methods by field ID. You could have a signature like
> "public object getFieldValue(int fieldID)" and "public void setFieldValue(int
> fieldID, Object value)". This would allow you to write code that was generic
> over different fields of the same type and only took the field ID as a
> parameter, for instance.
> Would other people be interested in capabilities like this? I'm sure we can
> think of other things we'd like to add as well.
