SpecificData#deepCopy will make this conversion. It currently fails
for enums, but the fix is easy. Here's a patch that makes that fix
and demonstrates a conversion. If this change is of interest, please
file an issue in Jira.

Great. Thanks, Christophe.

Thank you, Mika. I'll do this in mean time. Was wondering if there was a
better way...

Until this happens, Mika's suggestion is probably the best short-term
solution.

Hi,
If you don't mind the overhead you can make the conversion through the avro
binary data. So something like this should work (assuming both records are
using the same schema)
GenericRecord myRecord = ...
GenericDatumWriter writer = new
GenericDatumWriter(MyCustomRecord.getClassSchema());

Hi Christophe,
Thanks for your reply. When you say that we could write a generic
conversion function, do you mean we can write one that works for all
schemas? That would be great!
I'd like an API something like this:
MyCustomRecord record = MyCustomRecord.newBuilder(GenericRecord
record).build
Hi Roger,
With the change proposed in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1443,
you would be able to create a specific record using a generic builder API.
That means we could write a generic conversion function that creates
specific records.
Would that work for you?

Hi,
I'm working with an existing API that hands me a GenericRecord. Is there
an easy way I can covert it into a SpecificRecord. Really I want to get it
into the code-generated object.
Thanks,
Roger
