This may be what I'm looking for:

The getClass() method perhaps can be overridden to map incoming record
class names to java classes. Not sure if this is the right way to do it
though. There's also a getClassName() which might be a better method to
override.
Any thoughts?
Overriding one of the two of these sounds like the right thing.
getClass() is implemented in terms of getClassName(), so if getClass()
otherwise does what you want and supplying a different class name is
sufficient then just override getClassName(). If you need to instead
override getClass() then you'll probably want to invoke super.getClass()
for non-record schemas.
I hope this helps.
