change generated getter methods for string fields to return java.lang.String
instead of Utf8
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: AVRO-909
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-909
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: java
Reporter: Doug Cutting
Assignee: Doug Cutting
Fix For: 1.6.0
A field X of type string might generate:
{code}
public CharSequence x; // for back compatibility
public void setX(String s) {
if (x instanceof Utf8)
x.set(s);
else
x = new Utf8(s);
}
public String getX() { return x.toString(); }
{code}
The accessor methods have not yet been released, so this would be a compatible
change in 1.6. Applications that wished to use Utf8 directly for performance
could still use the field directly. Utf8 could be improved to lazily convert
between byte[] and String representations.
