Work Description: itstheceo opened a new pull request, #1692:
URL: https://github.com/apache/avro/pull/1692
Currently the read schema is not exposed when using `CustomEncoding<T>`
which makes detecting schema changes impossible without rolling your own
versioning inside the record itself. This is not an option for files that
already exist, and it adds overhead by adding the version to every row in the
file.
To address this issue I added a `CustomEncoderFieldAccess` interface and set
the read schema onto the encoder for the respective field accessor. This method
can be overridden in the concrete implementation of `CustomEncoding<T>`
enabling the detection of a schema change in a way that makes backwards
compatible reads possible.
