Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-580:
-----------------------------------
This can be implemented by making SpecificDatumReader, when it encounters a
schema whose name corresponds to no defined class, run the superclass
(GenericDatumReader) method. Similarly, when SpecificDatumWriter encounters a
non-specific class, it can punt to GenericDatumWriter.
> java: permit generic data within specific
