Christian Spriegel commented on THRIFT-4934:
--------------------------------------------
[~calcifer]: Thanks for the quick response.
Extending might be quite some effort: E.g. if the object (with the transient
field) is part of a another thrift-object. Accessing it from the outside would
then require typecasts:
{code:java}
((TypeWithTransientField)outerObject.getInner()).setTransientField("myvalue");{code}
Thrift makes a lot of things so much simpler. I think such a feature would make
work even more productive :) Furthermore: Even frameworks like JAXB have
transient annotations.

> Key: THRIFT-4934
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4934
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Christian Spriegel
> Priority: Minor
>
> It would be great if transient fields could be defined in the schema, which
> are not serialized but can be used in the application.
> An example use case for this feature would be a calculated value that is
> calculated while loading from the database.
> I am unsure whether these fields would need metadata or if they are simply
> added as fields+getters&setters.
