SpecificDatumReader requires the reader's schema to be set manually
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: AVRO-603
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-603
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: java
Reporter: Stu Hood
Priority: Minor
Since SpecificDatumReader has actual objects with schemas attached to them, it
would seem that you wouldn't need to set the reader's schema: the default
constructor only takes one schema argument, so it seems to support this, but
behind the scenes, it sets the readers/writers to the same schema.
Additionally, since DatumReader and its implementations use the terms
'expected' and 'actual' to refer to the 'reader' and 'writer' schemas,
determining that you need to set the reader's schema requires a code dive,
rather than a glance at the javadocs.
