-------------------------------------
Summary: [JAVA] Support java.util.Optional in reflect package
Key: AVRO-3644
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3644
Project: Apache Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: java
Reporter: Daniel Heinrich
java.util.Optional can currently not be used at all when using reflection based
schemas.
_org.apache.avro.reflect.ReflectData#getSchema_ will currently produce the
following type for fields using Optional:
{"type":"record","name":"Optional","namespace":"java.util","fields":[]}
The generated schema is completly unusable (it does not contain any data). I
would like to propose to map Optional fields as if they were not using Optional
and would be annotated with @Nullable. So resulting in the following type:
["null","something"]
