> When the Thrift Erlang code generator is given the "maps" option, it generates records with #{} as the field type. However #{} is the type for an empty map. The Erlang [Types and Function Specifications|http://erlang.org/doc/reference_manual/typespec.html#id79546] says:
> {quote}
> Notice that the syntactic representation of {{map()}} is {{#\{any() => any()\}}} (or {{#\{_ => _\}}}), not #\{ \}. The notation #\{ \} specifies the singleton type for the empty map.
> {quote}
