Bryan Duxbury commented on THRIFT-297:
--------------------------------------
The problem with the standard interface is not so much the reading as it is the
writing. Unless you do kind of a lot of extra work, you will find yourself
writing a lot of "unset" primitive values to the wire. I view the sparseness of
Thrift as a *key* feature, and am more than willing to pay the price of using
accessor methods to maintain the __isset for me.
Yes, we could recode the generic accessors to just return the raw data,
ignoring the __isset. However, doing so would mean duplicating code with the
beans-generated specific field accessors.
> getFieldValue and setFieldValue should be abstract TBase methods

> Since these methods can be called on every TBase instance, they should be
> part of the TBase API. These methods are useful in conjunction with the meta
> data features.
