What changed?
Drop pointer on binary checksum fields within internal types.
Why?
This is one of PRs planned to drop pointers for always required fields in internal types. It will make them more idiomatic and easier to use. These pointer are legacy of Thrift types that were used previously through our codebase. This will also allow safer migration to grpc, as proto primitive types don't have nils by default.
How did you test it?
Passing build and existing tests.
