I don't think optional args are supported. If you need optional args, the easiest way to do it is with by creating a struct that contains optional fields and using that as the only parameter to your method.

I'm currently using Thrift (version 20080411-r788695M) and, based on
section 15 (field) of the IDL[1], I'm filling out the "FieldReq?" part
of the definition. Currently, doing this throws errors:

"optional keyword is ignored in argument lists."

My question is: is the optional keyword obeyed in releases after the
one I'm currently using? If not, will it be obeyed in later releases?
