Is there any documentation on the Specific API and the Specific schema

The schema is an Avro Schema, as documented in the spec.

One uses SpecificCompiler to generate Java classes and interfaces from
schemas a protocols. Once you've generated this code, you can look at
it to see the Java API for your data. There are Ant tasks to facilitate
code generation: ProtocolTask and SchemaTask.

The documentation's not great. We need a simple tutorial showing how
this is done. You can look at the unit tests for examples.
