Scott Carey commented on AVRO-1126:
-----------------------------------
I propose that we have a canonical representation of schema default values that
has no external surface area of a third party library, as part of the Schema
API. Users should not be required to explicitly link to jackson to use our
API, so that we can change implementation details such as which JSON library we
use without breaking the API.
We could choose the Generic representations for this, or make new ones. It is
all easy until you get to arrays, maps, and records.
Specific, reflect, generic, or future representations can all be different. A
new and improved schema resolution system would convert the default value to
the target type once at schema resolution time instead of every record read.
This sort of re-use would require immutable data representation or copying.

> Quite annoyingly with Jackson 2+ the base package name has changed from
> org.codehaus.jackson to com.fasterxml.jackson so in addition to changing the
> dependencies from:
> {code:xml}
> <dependency>
> <groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>
> <artifactId>jackson-core-asl</artifactId>
> <version>${jackson.version}</version>
> </dependency>
> <dependency>
> <groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>
> <artifactId>jackson-mapper-asl</artifactId>
> <version>${jackson.version}</version>
> </dependency>
> {code}
> to:
> {code:xml}
> <dependency>
> <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
> <artifactId>jackson-core</artifactId>
> <version>${jackson.version}</version>
> </dependency>
> <dependency>
> <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
> <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
> <version>${jackson.version}</version>
> </dependency>
> {code}
> the base package in the code needs to be updated. More info can be found
> [here|http://wiki.fasterxml.com/JacksonUpgradeFrom19To20], I am happy to do
> the work just let me know what is preferable i.e. should I just attach a
> patch to this issue?
