Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-143:
-----------------------------------
> Would be very interesting to see that backed up by numbers (i.e. a test) as
> well.
To see what backed up? That reflection is 100x slower than normal Java code at
setting fields?
> use ASM to accellerate reflection

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: java

> 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.
