Ken Diep commented on AVRO-1064:
--------------------------------
I am new to AVRO and this issue is affecting me as well. As opposed to using
an empty string when null is encountered, why not use writeString((String)null)?
{code}
public void writeString(CharSequence charSequence) throws IOException {
if(charSequence == null) writeString((String)null);
else super.writeString(charSequence);
}
{code}
Also, if the bean is being generated by AVRO, how would one annotate with
@Nullable if there is no way to specify it (well I have yet to find a way)?
Manually annotating it after generating the java sources seems to defeat the
purpose of the code generation.
