-----------------------------------
Just for reference, it looks like this has been fixed in 1.8.1 as well.
Excellent!
> java: GenericData.toString() mutates underlying ByteBuffer backed data
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: AVRO-1799
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1799
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: java
> Affects Versions: 1.8.0
> Reporter: Greg McNutt
> Assignee: Ryan Blue
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 1.9.0
>
>
> Around line 550, the writeEscapedString() method, used to serialize a byte
> array, will alter the underlying ByteBuffer's pointer. Meaning subsequent
> uses of a toString()'d avro object will yield different results.
> Need to not use a generic decode on a ByteBuffer; either clone the element
> (expensive), or iterate over the elements with an external index.
