Gabriel Reid commented on CRUNCH-406:
-------------------------------------
+1 for the patch. I've definitely been annoyed with it in the past, but never
gone far enough to actually do something about it.
> Have the Avro IO methods in From/To take PTypes instead of AvroTypes

> I'm finding it somewhat annoying to have to cast PTypes from different
> contexts (like from a PCollection.getPType or from a derived type) back to
> AvroType whenever I want to use From/At.avroFile methods. I think we can
> safely move the casting into the From/At methods and assume that someone who
> is using Avro will only ever be using it with the AvroTypeFamily.
