I am fairly certain that this is not possible currently, but thought I
should ask anyway.
In Avro, is there a way to create generic types using schema files? As an
example, this is what I am looking to create:
/**
* Autogenerated by Avro
*
* DO NOT EDIT DIRECTLY
*/public class MyAvroType<T> {
private Object value; // value will be of type T.}
Here, this parameterized java class would be generated by the
avro-maven-plugin or any other available plugin using the avsc files.
What I am trying to solve is, to know the type of the value that will get
stored in the avro object so that I can find out any class compatibility
issues at compile time rather than at runtime.
Thanks!
