Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-257:
-----------------------------------
> if datum is null, validate should always return false
No, a record cannot be null. But a union that contains a null schema or a null
schema itself can be null. And, as much as possible, we want to permit folks
to build new data representations that might map Java types to Avro types
differently, i.e., to permit a zero-length Avro string to be represented as
null or something crazy like that.

> There is dead code in org.apache.avro.reflect.ReflectData.validate(). The
> code is checking if datum is not an instance of Object. But it always is, as
> it is declared as Object and it is not null.
