Doug Cutting updated AVRO-637:
------------------------------
Attachment: AVRO-637.patch
> For the generated code, List is the closest match we've got.
Okay, here's a version of the patch that uses List in generated code (for array
parameters and fields). Collection is used by the runtime, so both Reflect and
Generic will accept arbitrary collection implementations.
> GenericArray should implement Collection

> It would be nice if Avro arrays were better integrated with Java collections.
> The GenericArray interface permits array element reuse, which is awkward
> with java.util.Collection. But if GenericArray implemented Collection and
> the Avro runtime permitted arbitrary Collection implementations to be passed
> for Arrays then it would simplify many applications. The runtime could still
> reuse elements if an array implemented GenericArray, so performance would not
> suffer for applications that, e.g., loop over a data file, reusing instances.
