--------------------------------------
Summary: Generate accessors for field aliases (Java specific
compiler)
Key: AVRO-2320
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2320
Project: Apache Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Denis Washington
Currently, adding aliases to a field has no effect on the output class
generated by SpecificCompiler. To make incremental code evolution easier, it
would be beneficial if for each field alias, the compiler would generate
corresponding a getter, setter and builder method with the aliased name that
points to the same field. So for instance, a field like:
{code:java}
{
"name": "firstName",
"type": "string",
"aliases": ["surname"]
}{code}
would be compiled to the following set of getter methods:
{code:java}
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public String getSurname() {
return firstName;
}{code}
