["Mathias Herberts (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Mathias Herberts commented on THRIFT-477:
-----------------------------------------

This is issue is marked fixed despite the latest comments by Jarski requesting the rollback of those methods, what is its status?

I'm convinced too that those methods render the code using Thrift cleaner and smaller as they take care of field initialization.

> For some reason, the java generator produces a bunch of extra methods whenever you have a field of a collection type. For instance if you have a field called "my_list", then you will get a "get_my_list_size()" method in addition to the standard getter and setter. 
> Personally I find these extra methods redundant, since all they save you is a pair of parentheses. I'd prefer to just get rid of them. Does anyone out there like or use these methods?
