Technically we can write case classes simulating the output of avro4s. This approach has a disadvantage: no clue about what version of avro4s we are compatible with. With current approach we can see that avro4s 2.x is supported, but not 3.x. If one day Spark migrates to Avro 1.9 (from currently used 1.8), the compatibility with avro4s 2.x might be broken => we can notify users about broken compatibility and migrate to avro4s 3.x. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
