SpecificRecord using code generation
URL: https://github.com/apache/avro/pull/256#issuecomment-377157550
This is a good idea. What is the performance improvement? Did you run any
benchmarks?
I had imagined generating bytecode using ASM, but generating it in the
generated class would work too.

>
> Compared to GenericRecords, SpecificRecords offer type-safety plus the
> performance of traditional getters/setters/instance variables. But these are
> only beneficial to Java code accessing those records. SpecificRecords
> inherit serialization and deserialization code from GenericRecords, which is
> dynamic and thus slow (in fact, benchmarks show that serialization and
> deserialization is _slower_ for SpecificRecord than for GenericRecord).
> This patch extends record.vm to generate custom, higher-performance encoder
> and decoder functions for SpecificRecords. We've run a public benchmark
> showing that the new code reduces serialization time by 2/3 and
> deserialization time by close to 50%.
