---------------------------------
Assignee: Ryan Skraba
> [Java] Utf8 strings should be Serializable
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-3208
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3208
> Project: Apache Avro
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Ryan Skraba
> Assignee: Ryan Skraba
> Priority: Major
>
> It's a common pattern in big data execution engines like Beam, Spark, Flink
> to extract a key from an object and use it in a pipeline for later operations
> on grouping and aggregations. When the Avro string primitive is a Utf8
> datum, this adds unnecessary complexity because it's not serializable.
> This was mostly addressed in AVRO-200 and AVRO-1502 by making generated
> specific Avro objects Serializable or Externalizable, but using a STRING as a
> key is extremely common and worth addressing.
