----------------------------------
Summary: permit promotions between string and bytes
Key: AVRO-1533
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1533
Project: Avro
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: java
Reporter: Doug Cutting
Assignee: Doug Cutting
Avro strings are a subset of bytes, so promoting from string to bytes is
lossless and should be possible. Promotion from bytes to strings may cause
problems, as not all byte strings are valid UTF8, but it also might be useful.
