-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Protobuf Format (proto3): Handle default values for 
optional primitive types and primitive types in one of fields 
                 Key: FLINK-37528
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-37528
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.0-preview
            Reporter: Sai Sharath Dandi


The Read Default Values is 
[forced|https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/master/flink-formats/flink-protobuf/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/formats/protobuf/deserialize/ProtoToRowConverter.java#L74]
 to be true for primitive types in proto3. This can cause bugs in some cases 
for messages like below


{code:java}
oneof test {
      string aa = 1;
      int32 bb = 2;
      bool cc = 3;
      Corpus dd = 4;
    } {code}
Even if a only the first field is set in the oneOf, reading default values 
makes it so that all the fields are non-null after decoding. When such data is 
encoded back to protobuf, it will produce a different protobuf message than the 
original and cause data correctness issues.


solution:
{code:java}
if (PbFormatUtils.isSimpleType(subType) && !(elementFd.getContainingOneof() != 
null || elementFd.hasOptionalKeyword())) {
        readDefaultValues = 
formatContext.isReadDefaultValuesForPrimitiveTypes();
      } {code}
For primitive types in proto3, we can still do field presence checks when it is 
defined an optional field or it is part of a oneOf message.
