> Currently the Avro generated Java classes expose CharSequence in their API.
> However, you cannot use any old CharSequence when interacting with them. In
> fact, you have to use the Utf8 class if you want to get consistent results. I
> think that Avro should work with any CharSequence if that is the API. Here is
> an example where this happens:
> https://github.com/spullara/avro-generated-code/blob/master/src/test/java/AnnoyingTest.java
> That prints out 'false' three times unexpectedly. If you can't get it to
> print 'true' three times then you should probably change it back to Utf8.
