This looks great: thanks a lot Doug.

> According to the spec:
> {quote}map data may not be compared. It is an error to attempt to compare
> data containing maps unless those maps are in an "order":"ignore" record
> field."{quote}
> It looks like GenericData.Record implements equals() in terms of
> GenericData.compareTo(), which will fail for any record containing a Map,
> although the spec seems to indicate that it should succeed for
> "order":"ignore".
