Modify the TEnum interface so it defines a method similar to findByValue
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: THRIFT-949
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-949
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Java - Compiler, Java - Library
Reporter: Mathias Herberts
Priority: Trivial
In some cases, Thrift instances are converted into more simple types. This is
made easy by the existence of the meta data map.
TEnum fields are usually converted to 'int' using getValue.
When converting back to Thrift, those 'int' need to be converted back to TEnum.
The generated TEnum classes have a static method findByValue, but as it is
static it is not defined in the TEnum interface and therefore can only be
accessed using reflection if the enum type is not know before runtime.
By adding a simple 'public TEnum getByValue(int value)' method in the TEnum
interface, we could get rid of the reflection part.
