Hi all, 

I can read in Avro files to Spark with HadoopRDD and submit the schema in
the jobConf, but with the guidance I've seen so far, I'm left with a avro
GenericRecord of Java objects without type. How do I actually use the
schema to have the types inferred?

Example:

scala> AvroJob.setInputSchema(jobConf,schema);
scala> val rdd = 
sc.hadoopRDD(jobConf,classOf[org.apache.avro.mapred.AvroInputFormat[Generic
Record]],classOf[org.apache.avro.mapred.AvroWrapper[GenericRecord]],classOf
[org.apache.hadoop.io.NullWritable],10)
14/07/29 09:27:49 INFO storage.MemoryStore: ensureFreeSpace(134254) called
with curMem=0, maxMem=308713881
14/07/29 09:27:49 INFO storage.MemoryStore: Block broadcast_0 stored as
values to memory (estimated size 131.1 KB, free 294.3 MB)
rdd:

o.generic.GenericRecord], org.apache.hadoop.io.NullWritable)] =
