Description

When a ByteBuffer is directly a field of a struct, the struct's toString uses org.apache.thrift.TBaseHelper.toString to print the ByteBuffer's bytes. However, if the struct instead has a List<ByteBuffer> (probably any other non-thrift Collection type, but haven't tested others), it instead uses ByteBuffer's default toString: [java.nio.HeapByteBuffer[pos=0 lim=16 cap=16]]. The toString on a collection should ideally print out the bytes instead.
