if I declare a field to be "string", the generated java implementation uses avro......Utf8 for that,
I was wondering what is the thinking behind this, and what is the proper way to use the Utf8 value ----- oftentimes in my logic, I need to compare the value against other String's, or store them into other databases , which of course do not know about Utf8, so that I'd have to transform them into String's. so it seems being Utf8 unnecessarily asks for a lot of transformations. or I guess I'm not getting the correct usage ? Thanks Yang
