------------------------------
Attachment: AVRO-241.patch
> the properties that the reflect API [ ... ] should be referenced in JavaDoc
Done. I substantially updated the javadoc.

That's intended.
> R9 could be annotated to note that it's checking arrays of unions.

> In existing Hadoop RPC interfaces one can use an abstract base class or
> interface in a method declaration, and then pass different instantiable
> subclasses, since Hadoop RPC tags parameters and return types with their
> runtime java class name. To permit such interfaces to be supported by Avro
> reflection we can add a Union annotation that can be added to the base class,
> declaring its instantiable subclasses for Avro.
