Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-1275:
------------------------------------
Also note that the json_encoding mentioned in the description is not totally
relevant here, since that tags union values and GenericData#toString() does not.
The more relevant part of the specification is the description of default
values (http://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#schema_complex). Union
branches are not represented in default values (the first branch is always
assumed). So GenericData#toString() should match the format for default
values, and does, except for this bug.
> GenericData's toString() method generates the wrong JSON encoding for the
> bytes type

> Components: java

> Fix For: 1.8.0

>
> 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).
