-------------------------------
Summary: [Java] ReflectData.AllowNulls will create incompatible
Schemas for primitive types
Key: AVRO-1589
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1589
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Bug
Components: java
Affects Versions: 1.7.7
Reporter: Ryan Blue
Assignee: Ryan Blue
{{ReflectData.AllowNulls}} will always create nullable types, even if the
reflected object has primitive fields. When assigning a null to a primitive
field, Java always throws a {{NullPointerException}}. I think the right thing
to do is to allow nulls for any {{Object}} and return required schemas for
primitive types.
