> New implementation for generation of code for SpecificRecord that improves
> decoding by over 10% and encoding over 30% (more improvements are on the
> way). This feature is behind a feature flag
> ({{org.apache.avro.specific.use_custom_coders}}) and (for now) turned off by
> default. See [Getting Started
> (Java)|https://avro.apache.org/docs/current/gettingstartedjava.html#Beta+feature:+Generating+faster+code]
> for instructions.
> (A bit more info: 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.)
