Kevin Oliver commented on AVRO-278:
-----------------------------------

Would records written using the previous HashMap version be readable by the 
array version? I believe the answer is yes, I'd just like to confirm. 

> use array instead of map to implement generic records

> It would be considerably faster to implement GenericData.Record as an array 
> rather than as a HashMap.  We expect generic data to be a major incentive to 
> using Avro, and users of Java's generic API should not pay a performance 
> penalty.
