Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-1274:
------------------------------------
Schema, Field, Protocol and Message do actually have a common base class:
http://avro.apache.org/docs/current/api/java/org/apache/avro/JsonProperties.html
I'm not sure how much this can be exploited to simplify generic traversal. It
would be nice to have a generic traversal API. I've started to write one
several times but given up since it was far easier in each case to write
another recursive walker with a switch statement.
I believe that Tom's API is sufficiently independent of the underlying Schema
API that it can survive changes to that. I'd hate to see the addition of this
much-needed builder API held back for a re-design of the Schema API.
