Gotcha with Java enums not having a zero value
----------------------------------------------
Key: THRIFT-452
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-452
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Compiler (Java)
Reporter: Ben Maurer
In the java library, if you define an enum that does not have a value declared
for 0, it seems like you can get into a strange situation. In java, the field
for the enum will be set to zero, but isset will be true. Compare to a language
like Python where the value will be None, causing isset to effectively be
false. When the value is deserialized, Java will check if the enum value is
valid, find that it is not, and throw an exception.
Any thoughts on the best behavior?
