Kevin Clark commented on THRIFT-238:
------------------------------------
I'm not sure I like the idea, but if we wanted to do it, we could probably just
add a second, optional, arg to the generated initialize.
> Generated structs should have constructor option to skip default values

> It seems like it would be useful to have an overload (or option) on struct
> constructors to skip the initialization of default values. The particular use
> case I'm thinking about is when you are going to be using an instance of a
> struct to read from a protocol, and you don't want the "merging" effect that
> could happen if you have optional fields with default values. It could be
> very simple - for instance, in Java, it could just be a constructor like
> MyStruct(boolean useDefaults), and the existing no-arg constructor would call
> that with true.
