Hello Vivek,

You might try making it optional. Then you could have three states:
not set,
set to ""
set to "hello Thrift"

Best,
Randy

Hi,

Is there a way to return null in thrift server ?

I have a string data type , Which can have three possible values:

    1. Empty String
    2. Null String
    3. Some string value

I want to differentiate b/w Empty String and Null String.

Currently I have done like:

MyDataType{

string value;

bool is_null;

}

I set's is_null as true if value is null. Is there any better way of doing
this ?
regards
Vivek Goel
