Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-1275:
------------------------------------
This is a bug, but fixing it would be an incompatible change, so should
probably wait until release 1.8.
> GenericData's toString() method generates the wrong JSON encoding for the
> bytes type
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: java

>
> We discovered in AVRO-1274 that for bytes GenericData.toString(Object datum)
> incorrectly generates
> {noformat}
> { "bytes" : "A" }
> {noformat}
> rather than just {{"A"}} for the JSON encoding defined in the spec
> (http://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#json_encoding).
