Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-720:
-----------------------------------
I'd like to remove this from the 1.5.0 bug list. The messages in CHANGES.txt
for 1.4's AVRO-637 and AVRO-605 are listed in the "incompatible" section.
Combine those too, and it's already documented that types that were generated
as 'GenericData.Array<Utf8>' will now be declared with 'List<CharSequence>'.
Constructing a value that can be assigned to that can be done with 'new
GenericData.Array<CharSequence>()' but no longer with 'new
GenericData.Array<Utf8>()', due to the way Java generics work. Should we add
that information to CHANGES.txt, should we add an FAQ or should we simply close
this?

> Discovered when I upgraded a server from 1.3 to 1.4: trying to stuff a
> GenericData.Array<Utf8> object into a List<CharSequence> does not work; Avro
> should generate List<? implements CharSequence> instead. The same holds for
> other array types.
