Hi Cody,
default values are needed in cases where NULL values are not supported.
This happens if the null check is disabled in TableConfig for efficiency
reasons. Using 0 to DataType.MAX_VALUE for numeric types and -1 as a
NULL equivalent in special cases seems more reasonable to me.
Hope that helps.

Hi guys,
I found that in CodeGenUtils, default values of numeric primitive types are
set to -1, what's the consideration of setting the default values to -1
instead of 0? IMHO 0 would make more sense, although in DB if a field is
null then all operations on this field will return null anyway.
