Douglas Kaminsky updated AVRO-1365:
-----------------------------------
Description:
When comparing two objects using GenericData.compare (directly or indirectly),
null values in fields of record type objects are not sufficiently protected
against, resulting in NPE
e.g.
{code}
case ENUM:
return s.getEnumOrdinal(o1.toString()) - s.getEnumOrdinal(o2.toString());
{code}
This is prevalent throughout the {{compare}} method. This impacts
{{compareTo}}, and {{equals}} implementations as well.
