Maulik Gandhi commented on AVRO-1634: ------------------------------------- * I was thinking of making a change in Velocity template: [Record | https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/branch-1.7/lang/java/compiler/src/main/velocity/org/apache/avro/compiler/specific/templates/java/classic/record.vm] * I will post a patch, once I have things working on. > Clear all fields / Reset all fields to default value on Record template > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AVRO-1634 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1634 > Project: Avro > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: java > Reporter: Maulik Gandhi > Priority: Minor > > As a developer, > it would be nice to have a feature, API which will expose the functionality > of clearing all fields on Record or set them to default value if the > attribute has default value, so that the consumers do not have to write > custom methods for the use case described before. > Also when a Builder pattern is used for creating Objects from Record, > builders can be re-used, thus reducing heap memory usage. > Discussion around same topic can be found in [archives | > http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/avro-user/201501.mbox/%3CCALEq1Z8M8m1JH=tuiaktjjuteqbgh-fqtb0upp4hu_pksc-...@mail.gmail.com%3E] -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
