You can specify defaults to struct values, but I'm not sure about default method parameters -- few languages support this functionality, so I doubt it.  It may be premature generalization, but the second option would allow you to have a default:

struct ConsistencyRequest {
  1: required ConsistencyLevel level = ONE,
  2: optional int nodes,
}

read(1: string thing, 2: ConsistencyRequest request)

> Currently, a user has to specify an int for the number of nodes to block_for.  As discussed on IRC, there are only a few options that a user would want, so this would be better encapsulated by an enum.
> enum  ConsistencyLevel {
>     ZERO = 0,
>     ONE = 1,
>     QUORUM = 2,
>     ALL = 3,
> }
> This could be extended with a fifth option, CUSTOM = 4, if custom specifications are desired
> struct ConsistencyRequest {
>     1: required ConsistencyLevel level,
>     2: optional int nodes
> }
