Trent Altman commented on AVRO-1703:
------------------------------------
I have a patch for this that I use
https://github.com/defg/avro/commit/cfd900b464e18696d2afa1d3d7794ddbef37e738
I'm happy to finish the work on this for contributing if there is interest and
someone can point me to what else needs to be done.
> Specific record should not only be determined by presence of SCHEMA$ field

> I want to use Avro from Scala, i.e. generate case classes from an Avro
> schema. So far this is working fine except for one thing - fields in Scala
> classes are always private. This doesn't work with Avro SpecificRecords (at
> least when inferring the schema from the class) and results in the following
> exception:
> org.apache.avro.AvroRuntimeException: java.lang.IllegalAccessException: Class
> org.apache.avro.specific.SpecificData can not access a member of class
> <my.Class> with modifiers "private"
> The exception is thrown from the following line in
> org.apache.avro.specific.SpecificData:
> schema = (Schema)(c.getDeclaredField("SCHEMA$").get(null));
> My suggestion would be to additionally check for a method called `getSchema`
> and read the schema from that method.
