> Since primitive types (int, bool, byte, etc.) cannot be null in Java, the Java libraries will serialize "empty" values into their output. This is very bad when you have sparse Thrift structs with many possible fields and only one actually used. 
> The Isset logic appears to be partially implemented, but is apparently unused. It seems like the required action is using getters and setters and honoring the isset information appropriately.
