today I tried to move a java project from 1.7.7 to 1.9.0 and the first issue I hit was an unexpected NPE when using CodecFactory.
Specifically I was trying to get the string name of the SnappyCodec as a default cli option. This was fine on 1.7 and 1.8 and in 1.9 fails. This was surprising because I didn't recall anything about snappy changes that would make me expect to do work on this part of things. I have chased it down to this commit: https://github.com/apache/avro/commit/21098529e659743e551f2c35652d1a93c1528082 Unfortunately the commit does not have a JIRA key, and I haven't been able to reverse engineer where it came in. I'd like to work it out so I can add a release note recommending how to work around the issue. This also led me to a related problem: looking at release notes so I can figure out what to expect when upgrading. Where should I be looking?
