Yibing Shi commented on AVRO-1847:
----------------------------------
I didn't think of childrens of this class may need to check its return value. I
thought an exception made more sense here because there is an unknown logical
type was found. Now I agree with you that return null makes their life easier.
Have changed the code back according to your suggestion.
> IDL compiler uses ByteBuffer for decimal type even if logical type is
> supported

> Version 1.8.0 has added the support of logical types. A conversion class
> (Conversions.DecimalConversion) has also been added for decimal type.
> However, the IDL compiler still uses ByteBuffer for decimal types, which is
> not the same behaviour as data, time or timestamp type (added in AVRO-1684).
