use ASM to accellerate reflection
---------------------------------
Key: AVRO-143
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-143
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: java
Reporter: Doug Cutting
Java reflection is very slow, about 100 times slower for field access than
normal Java code. However reflection might be a useful tool for converting
existing codebases to use Avro.
One could, using ASM (http://asm.ow2.org/) make existing compiled classes to
implement the SpecificRecord interface or something similar:
http://hadoop.apache.org/avro/docs/current/api/java/org/apache/avro/specific/SpecificRecord.html
This would make existing classes as fast to serialize as generated classes.
