> But this discussion can also regard other implementations, I think it would be useful to discuss on the ML. The discussion is needed if we decide to put the definition of empty value (a better terminology than "default value" I used above) on the spec. My current position is that validation should be relaxed and not assume other implementations are producing non-null fields inside null structs. For instance, I believe that a compute kernel, in the official implementation or other implementations, should be allowed to skip producing empty values inside of null structs. This can be a very meaningful improvement for structs with a large number of fields. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
