> Given the follow thrift definition:
> {code:java}
> struct custom {
>   1: required string field_a;
>   2: optional string field_b;
> }
> {code}
> with the following constant map defined in the same file:
> {code:java}
> const map<i32, custom> custom_map = {
>   ...,
>   42 : { 'field_a':'www.testa.com', 'field_b':'www.testb.com'},
>   ...,
> }
> {code}
> Thrift generates the following go struct in the main {code:java}x.go{code} file:
> {code:java}
> type Custom struct {
>   FieldA string `thrift:"field_a,required" db:"field_a" json:"field_a"`
>   FieldB *string `thrift:"field_b,2" db:"field_b" json:"field_b,omitempty"`
> }
> {code}
> with the corresponding assignments in the {code:java} X-consts.go {code} file:
> {code:java}
> CUSTOM_MAP = map[int]*Custom {
>   ...,
>   42: &Custom {FieldA: "www.testa.com", FieldB: "www.testb.com"},
>   ...,
> }
> {code}
> I assume field_b's pointer type is to allow for null values as per the optional. The generator should be assigning pointers instead of strings. 
> I'm not sure how much effort it would take to fix this. I am encountering this problem at work right and would be very happy to starting working on this with some guidance from experts around here.
