Scott Carey updated AVRO-667:
-----------------------------
Attachment: AVRO-667.patch
This patch makes GenericData compatible with Lists and CharSequence for
equals() and hashCode().
It also adds unit tests for those two functions that are more complete and
demonstrate the issue. The current code coverage, after these tests, is 32%
for GenericData. We should increase that to 90%+, but perhaps in another
ticket.
> GenericArray fails to compare with List. SpecificRecord compare gets
> ClassCastException

> I am unable to convert my SpecificRecord project to 1.4. It compiles, but
> unit tests get runtime exceptions.
> compareTo in GenericData does not handle List vs GenericArray and I get class
> cast exceptions.

> However, it should be List<? extends CharSequence> or else you can't assign a
> List<String> to it.
