Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-104:
-----------------------------------
> The problem is with the static getClient methods of ReflectRequestor,
> ReflectResponder and SpecificRequestor, which do a static call to ReflectData
> themselves.
Folks can easily avoid those methods by calling Proxy.newProxyInstance
themselves, or we could add a new version of getClient() that accepts a
ReflectData implementation.
> Btw, ReflectData#validate is nowhere used nor tested in the Avro code base.
> Is this a forgotten method (code rot), or does it just need a test case?
Somewhere between. We should probably add a test. Can you think of cases
where it'd be handy to have?
> Reflective API can't handle nulls
