Ashutosh Chauhan commented on THRIFT-1465:
------------------------------------------

I work on the Hive project and this problem came up there in context of HIVE-2616. I need to extend the Processor which was generated by thrift compiler on this idl http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hive/trunk/metastore/if/hive_metastore.thrift . In my extended Processor https://reviews.apache.org/r/2975/diff/#12 I want to access some of the methods (namely getProcessMap() and getEmptyArgs()) of the super class but can't because they are private. As a workaround I resorted to Reflection. Is it possible to change visibility of these methods ?
