Hello! There's some discussion on these two PRs: https://github.com/apache/avro/pull/1431 https://github.com/apache/avro/pull/1618
TL;DR: In order to support features present in Hadoop 3, we either need to detect the version of Hadoop by reflection, or stop supporting Hadoop 2. Steve has reported that Hadoop 2 is not likely to work with Java 8 and recent versions of Avro... Does anybody have any objections to removing Hadoop 2 support in the next major version? All my best, Ryan
