Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-2079:
------------------------------------
There still seems to be some debate on the best way to implement this. We can
commit something once there's consensus.
The more back-compatible this is, the easier it will be to include in releases.
Currently this renames an existing class, which is not back-compatible. As
such, it thus could not be included in a minor, bugfix release. The patch is
also out of date too.
> Add ability to use Java 8 date/time types instead of Joda time.

> Key: AVRO-2079
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2079
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: java, logical types
> Affects Versions: 1.8.2
> Reporter: Auke van Leeuwen
> Priority: Major
> Labels: patch-available
>
> Currently, for the date/time related logical types, we are generating Joda
> date/time objects. Since we've moved to Java-8 (AVRO-2043) it seems logical
> to also provide the possibility to generate {{java.time.*}} date/time objects
> instead of the Joda time variants.
> I propose to make this is a switch in {{SpecificCompiler.java}} which will
> default to Joda (I think), but can be set to generate the Java 8 versions.
> (I'm currently trying to run through the code to see if I can make it work.)
