Thiruvalluvan M. G. commented on AVRO-1064:
-------------------------------------------
The patch makes Encoder treat {{null}} for Avro {{String}} as empty. There is
no such requirement in Encoder's specification. This would make the the spec
somewhat non-uniform. For example, if we assign the interpretation for {{null}}
for Avro {{String}}, we should also add interpretation for {{null}} for Avro
{{bytes}}, {{fixed}} and so on.
I think ensuring the the bean doesn't have {{null}} member or annotating the
property {{@Nullable}} is a better way to handle this.
