Some comments:
You should check in the *.avdl or *.avsc file that describes your MyPair
schema instead of the generated code. Maven can be used to generate the
Java class using the avro-maven-plugin.
For example, add:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.avro</groupId>
<artifactId>avro-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.5.3</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>schemas</id>
<phase>generate-sources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>schema</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<sourceDirectory>src/main/avro</sourceDirectory>
<outputDirectory>target/generated-sources/avro</outputDirectory>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
To your pom to compile *.avsc files from src/main/avro into
target/generated-sources/avro.
For more help on this, add the plugin above to your pom, and type:
'mvn avro:help' for basic documentation, or 'mvn avro:help Ddetail=true'
for full documentation on the maven plugin.
Some IDE's are a little picky with this (especially Eclipse, and moreso with
recent versions) and you may need to manually generate the source from
command line or in the IDE ('mvn generate-sources');
