Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-1502:
------------------------------------
Rob, great question!
Utf8 we can fix easily.
ByteBuffer is harder. We'd need to switch to using a wrapper or byte[] for
bytes schemas in generated code.
For GenericData.Array we could add a SpecificDatumReader#readArray()
implementation that uses an ArrayList rather than a GenericData.Array. This
would prevent the reuse of items in the array that GenericData.Array permits.
I don't know how big of a loss that would be...
> Avro objects should implement Serializable
