--------------------------------------------------------------
This makes good sense in the event that you have a {{SpecificRecord}}
implementation in a third party library, where you cannot annotate with
{{@DefaultCoder(AvroCoder.class)}}. In general, we should make sure that things
we can do with annotations are also easy to do programmatically, unless it is
infeasible.
For this, I believe a natural approach would be to add an overload
{{CoderRegistry#registerCoder(Class<?>, CoderProvider)}} with the behavior
that [~eljefe6aa]] suggests.

> Make Registering Avro Specific Records Easier

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: sdk-java-core
> Reporter: Jesse Anderson
> Assignee: Kenneth Knowles
>
> There should be a helper method to make it easier to register Avro specific
> record classes. This will be the most common type that needs to be
> registered. The code would look something like:
> {code:java}
> public class AvroHelper {
> public static void registerAvro(Pipeline p, Class<? extends
> SpecificRecordBase> clazz) {
> p.getCoderRegistry().registerCoder(clazz, new CoderFactory() {
> @Override
> public Coder<?> create(List<? extends Coder<?>> componentCoders) {
> return AvroCoder.of(clazz);
> }
> @Override
> public List<Object> getInstanceComponents(Object value) {
> return null;
> }
> });
> }
> }
> {code}
> With usage:
> {code:java}
> Pipeline p = Pipeline.create(options);
>
> AvroHelper.registerAvro(p, LogEntry.class);
> {code}
