Tom White commented on AVRO-1497:
---------------------------------
Thanks for the update Ryan. I think this is getting close now.
> I also started interning persistent strings in the Schema that are used in
> comparisons a lot, like record names, field names, enum symbols, and
> properties.
Let's move that into a separate JIRA. Interning is not recommended on Java 6
since it pollutes permgen, and in Java 7 it may need tuning
(http://java-performance.info/string-intern-in-java-6-7-8/), so we should be
cautious about when we do it, and then only for demonstrable gain.
> Add LogicalType support to Java

> AVRO-1402 updates the Avro spec to include logical types, which are stored as
> existing types but interpreted as others. The next step is to implement
> LogicalType (in Java) that provides tools to attach a logical type to a
> schema, read a logical type, and validate logical types.
