Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-1274:
------------------------------------
Sorry, I wrote the above before looking at your patch and the sources. That
{"bytes":"foo"} thing is indeed coming from GenericData#toString. (It dates
back to the pre-history of Avro. I must have had some good intention when I
added it, but it sure looks evil now.) We should probably remove it, but that
would be an incompatible change. Perhaps the next release should be 1.8.0
instead of 1.7.5. There are a few other minor incompatible changes queued that
would be nice to get out. Or we can work around this, specially handling
binary default values.
