Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-18:
----------------------------------

> Not using enums means that a [foo,bar,baz] union != a [bar,baz,foo] union on 
> the wire/disk

Right, they are are not serialized identically, but we've defined read-time 
resolution so that they don't have to be.  If one writes with [foo,bar,baz] and 
someone else reads with [bar,baz,foo] then foo still matches foo when read.



> add enum type
