Alexandre Normand commented on AVRO-1368:
-----------------------------------------
It looks like we want {{SpecificDatumWriter#writeString()}} to check is the
object is stringable before calling {{toString()}} on it.
This assumes this is Stringable but your example shows that it's a bad
assumption:
{code}
@Override
protected void writeString(Schema schema, Object datum, Encoder out)
throws IOException {
if (!(datum instanceof CharSequence)) // Stringable
datum = datum.toString(); // call toString()
writeString(datum, out);
}
{code}
> String schema accepts any Java object, and converts it with toString()
