You can add attributes to the schema, e.g.:
{type:enum, name:MyEnum,
symbols:[FOO, BAR, BAZ],

Then, if you generate specific code, you can access this with something like:
int fooIndex =
Hi, I'm kind of new to Avro, and I couldn't find an example on this by
googling. I have a Java enum that looks like this:
public enum G_CanonicalPropertyType {
FOO(10, Foo, foo is not food),
BAR(11, Bar, bar is like a snickers),
BAZ(12, Baz, baz is a widget with wings);
private int index;
