Tom White updated AVRO-1274:
----------------------------

    Attachment: AVRO-1274.patch

Here's a start. An example of the API:

{noformat}
Schema schema = SchemaBuilder
  .recordType().name("myrecord").aliases("oldrecord")
    .field().name("f0").type(SchemaBuilder.STRING)
    .field().name("f1").type(SchemaBuilder.LONG)
    .field().name("f2").type(SchemaBuilder.BOOLEAN).optional()
  .build();
{noformat}

* I called the class SchemaBuilder, but perhaps it should be Schema.Builder by 
analogy with Schema.Parser.
* There's no support for default values for fields. I had a cursory look but 
couldn't see a way to convert from Java objects to JsonNodes in the current 
code - is there a way to do that?
* I still have to add javadoc and a few more tests.
