Union as java.lang.Object prevents object reuse
-----------------------------------------------
Key: AVRO-266
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-266
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.2.0
Reporter: Todd Lipcon
Because Unions end up deserializing as java.lang.Object and using the object's
type to differentiate the union constituents, object reuse is pretty hard to
achieve. I don't have a specific benchmark, but I think this will hurt
performance for logging applications where every record in a large file is a
union, and the type tends to change for each record.
