------------------------------------
Summary: ReflectData.AllowNull should allow nulls within a
Collection or array
Key: AVRO-2103
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2103
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Bug
Components: java
Affects Versions: 1.8.2
Reporter: Jonathan Leech
Priority: Minor
Either by default, or as an option, schemas generated by ReflectData.AllowNull
should allow null elements in Collection or arrays. The current behavior allows
the attribute itself to be null, but not contain elements which are null. For
example a List<String> containing {null, "foo", "bar"} causes Avro to throw a
NullPointerException upon serialization via the schema generated with
ReflectData.AllowNull.
