Mike Rodriguez created AVRO-1676:
------------------------------------
Summary: Do not treat enum symbols as immutable when deep copying
Key: AVRO-1676
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1676
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Bug
Components: java
Affects Versions: 1.7.7
Reporter: Mike Rodriguez
Enum types should be supported in GenericData.deepCopy() so that we can convert
from (in memory) generics records to specifics records.
Without this fix in place, it is non-trivial to attempt to create specific
records from generic records if they may happen to have any nested enum data
types.
This issue has already been pointed out by Doug Cutting which can be referenced
at \[1] and \[2].
In \[2] specifically, Doug proposed the change that would fix this issue.
