Andrew Kokhanovskyi commented on AVRO-1406:
-------------------------------------------
Doug, while wrapping GenericDatum with a GenericField is definitely an option,
why not inherit GenericDatum to a GenericNamedDatum (that would additionally
contain the name and necessary methods)? The class users would then have a
freedom to dynamically cast GenericDatum to GenericNamedDatum if they are
interested in the field name (within the scope of the parent record).
> Avro C++ GenericRecord (GenericDatum, etc.) doesn't support getters and
> setters with field name argument

> In Java implementation there is GenericData.Record which can use field names
> to set and get data. There is nothing similar in C++ implementation.
