If your objects conform to some common Schema then maybe you can pass them OK but I can't confirm this. It would not take you very long to set up and explore this. Once you have your data model established (this takes the form of JSON Avro schema) it is trivial to compile it down in to persistent beans which contain the schema for writing and reading data to and from supported Gora stores... and other Avro data. hth Lewis
