Summary: Fixed type mismatch between Generic Datum Reader/Writer and Convertion Key: AVRO-2237 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2237 Project: Avro Issue Type: Bug Components: java Affects Versions: 1.8.2 Reporter: Jeremie Pelletier Both the GenericDatumWriter and GenericDatumReader allow fixed values to be of type "Object", as shown here: [https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/54a79769987d78384899062b59d413412c577de3/lang/java/avro/src/main/java/org/apache/avro/generic/GenericDatumWriter.java#L276] However the Conversion class only accepts "GenericFixed": [https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/master/lang/java/avro/src/main/java/org/apache/avro/Conversion.java#L104] This prevents using "byte[]" as the fixed type while keeping support for logical types at the same time. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
