Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-404:
-----------------------------------
The reflect API uses the "java-class" property in a schema for a related
purpose. It also uses annotations to specify this.
> Support "mixin properties" for specific codegen

> Key: AVRO-404
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-404
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: java, spec
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
>
> As we add more features for RPC and the specific codegen, there are some
> codegen options that should be provided as annotations on schema fields. For
> example, some users may want to turn binary fields into byte[], and other
> people may prefer ByteBuffer. Since these are codegen-scoped and not
> data-scoped, it would be nice to allow the properties to be "mixed in" at
> codegen time. By moving them out of the main schema definition, different
> users of the same Avro protocol could make different choices for the codegen
> in their specific applications.
