> Some alternative approaches in mind, both changing the C++ code: > > * Changing the type of `output_type` from `std::shared_ptr<DataType>` to `std::optional<std::shared_ptr<DataType>>`; > * Or if we think `std::optional<std::shared_ptr<DataType>>` is problematic, we can in turn change `output_type` to `std::optional<Type::type>`. I would be ok with either, but that's an API breakage in both cases. I think @bkietz contributed the original serialization code, perhaps we would like to chime in? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
