Tristan Stevens commented on AVRO-1413:
---------------------------------------
Good shout - confusing my languages there...
I think there should be a way of getting at the schema for any given
SpecificRecord without having to instantiate it (and ideally without faffing
about with reflection - which of course is do-able).
Perhaps instead the schema should be made available from an instance of the
builder - at the moment it is protected in RecordBuilderBase but a public
accessor could be put on to there to allow someone to query the schema:
public Schema getSchema() { return schema; }
Similarly, should the builder provide a way of obtaining the class of the type
of Records that it is able to build? something along the lines of in
RecordBuilderBase:
public Class getRecordClass() { return T.class);
> Provide static abstract getClassSchema on SpecificRecordBase (as per
> AVRO-1223)

> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: java
> Affects Versions: 1.7.5
> Reporter: Tristan Stevens
> Priority: Trivial
> Original Estimate: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 10m
>
> AVRO-1223 added support for static getClassSchema() to generated Record
> classes, this should be added to the abstract superclass SpecificRecordBase
> and also to the interface SpecificRecord in order to enable this method to be
> used on any generated Records.
