Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-1368: ------------------------------------ We shouldn't call SpecificData.get() when a SpecificData instance is available. We should probably deprecate that method and folks should just call 'new SpecificData()' instead for defaults. SpecificData, ReflectData, & GenericData used to be singletons, but now they have constructors for different classloaders, etc. so often the singleton is the wrong instance. Perhaps we should add a SpecificDatumWriter#getSpecificData() method? > String schema accepts any Java object, and converts it with toString() > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AVRO-1368 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1368 > Project: Avro > Issue Type: Bug > Components: java > Affects Versions: 1.7.5 > Reporter: Christophe Taton > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
