Werner Daehn updated AVRO-2402:
-------------------------------
Release Note: Is a side effect free addition of code. All tests passed.
Attachment: AVRO-2402.patch
Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
I have tried various versions of implementations, this one is by far the
cleanest. Has no side effect, no performance impact.

> Imagine you are within the GenericRecord Employee->Addresses. You have all
> fields of the Addresses Schema of course but what if you need to read
> something from the parent, the employee record?
> You would need to remember the entire parent tree, which is fine if you are
> just one level deep but can be cumbersome when the structure is 10 levels
> deep.
> I'd like the GenericDatumReader to return objects that have the methods
> * getParent()
> * getRoot()
> as well.
