Jeff Hammerbacher commented on AVRO-660:
----------------------------------------

In particular, it would be useful to have examples of how to evolve schemas and 
protocols. For the latter issue, the Thrift paper does a nice job of describing 
how Thrift handles the four cases of {old client, new client} x {old server, 
new server}. A similar description of how Avro would handle those four cases 
would be quite useful.

> Improve Avro documentation with examples of non-trivial schemas and protocols 
> as well as implementations of corner cases
