In older versions of Midas, the thumbnail field contained a relative path to the thumbnail on disk.  In more recent versions we replaced that field with a thumbnail_id field, which is either NULL or the id of a bitstream representing the thumbnail-- we started storing thumbnalis in the assetstore, just like we do for all other bitstreams.  It is fine to leave this field as the default value, since it is now possible to generate an item's thumbnail at any time via the web api.<div>
