-----------------------------------
Summary: StringType of "String" causes logcalType converters to be
ignored for field
Key: AVRO-2548
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2548
Project: Apache Avro
Issue Type: Bug
Components: java, logical types
Affects Versions: 1.9.0
Reporter: Chris Woodham
I have the avro maven plugin configured like this:
```
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.avro</groupId>
<artifactId>avro-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${avro.version}</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>schema</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<stringType>String</stringType>
<createSetters>false</createSetters>
<enableDecimalLogicalType>true</enableDecimalLogicalType>
<fieldVisibility>private</fieldVisibility>
<customConversions>
<conversion>
org.apache.avro.Conversions$UUIDConversion
</conversion>
</customConversions>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
```
With the intention of using the provided `UUIDConversion` class on string
fields set with the logicalType `uuid`. However, it seems like having
`stringType` specified as 'String' means the converter is ignored.
If I comment out the line `<stringType>String</stringType>` then the converter
is used as expected and the java classes have `UUID` types for those fields,
but obviously all normal strings are now `CharSequence` objects.
