required fields in thrift file

Hi,
  Thrift allows to send objects even if some required marked fields are not
filled up. What is the use of marking fields as required and optional ?

Required support was added to the IDL later on in the life of Thrift, and
consequently not all libraries support it properly. A patch to fix this
would be much appreciated.
