Oscar Westra van Holthe - Kind updated AVRO-3441:
-------------------------------------------------
Description:
Manually registering a {{LogicalTypeFactory}} is cumbersome, but necessary if
creating the factory requires constructor parameters.
For most cases though, a {{LogicalTypeFactory}} gets all the information it
needs from the schema. This makes it a good candidate for a SPI (using the Java
6 {{ServiceLoader}} class). The PR demonstrates that this is quite easy,
because the interface already supports registering a {{LogicalTypeFactory}}
without any additional information.
> Automatically register LogicalTypeFactory classes
