Christophe Taton commented on AVRO-1368:
----------------------------------------
I don't have enough context to make a reasonable guess here.
>From a generic API perspective, this becomes an opaque field in the form of
a java String.
I'm referring to this conversion:
https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/trunk/lang/java/avro/src/main/java/org/apache/avro/generic/GenericDatumWriter.java#L78
- where an Avro int is expected, I can write int, long, float, double, any
subclass of Number, and it will be silently encoded as the truncated
integer value.
- where an Avro long is expected, I can only write a long/java.lang.Long
and nothing else (int/java.lang.Integer) is rejected, for example.
> String schema accepts any Java object, and converts it with toString()
