Sean Busbey updated AVRO-997:
-----------------------------
Attachment: AVRO-997.patch
Updated patch with tests that fail if GenericData.validate or
GenericDatumWriter.write allow the use of String/Java Enum with an Avro enum
schema.
Also adds a constructor to GenericData.EnumSymbol to ease proper use of the
generic api.
> Union of enum and null cannot be serialized

> I have a schema like:
