Yibing Shi commented on AVRO-1894:
----------------------------------
How about add all the default conversions into {{SpecificData}} but not
{{GenericData}}? We have applied a bunch of default conversions to
{{SpecificRecord}} in {{SpecificCompiler}}. Does it make sense the apply the
same set of conversions to {{SpecificData}}?
As for {{GenericData}}, adding a builder class is a good idea. We can cache the
created {{GenericData}} instances to reduce memory usage (reuse the same
instance if a same bunch of conversions are passed in).
> GenericData does not add Logical Type conversions by default

> Key: AVRO-1894
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1894
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: java, logical types
> Affects Versions: 1.8.1
> Reporter: Taras Bobrovytsky
>
> In order to support Decimal fields, the following line needs to be added:
> {code}
> new GenericData().addLogicalTypeConversion(new
> Conversions.DecimalConversion());
> {code}
> It would be more convenient if logical type conversions were added by default.
