-----------------------------------

             Summary: AvroUtils.deepClonePersistent needs flush BinaryEncoder
                 Key: GORA-361
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GORA-361
             Project: Apache Gora
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: gora-core
    Affects Versions: 0.4
            Reporter: Gerhard Gossen


Calling AvroUtils.deepClonePersistent on a smallish object (e.g. an unfetched 
Nutch WebPage) results in the following exception:

{code:java}
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to deserialize avro object from byte buffer 
- please report this issue to the Gora bugtracker or your administrator.
        at 
org.apache.gora.util.AvroUtils.deepClonePersistent(AvroUtils.java:125)
{code}

The method clones its argument by writing it to a wrapped byte array and 
deserializing it from there. However, the output is buffered in the 
BinaryEncoder and doesn't appear in the OutputStream. Adding {{enc.flush()}} 
after {{writer.write}} seems to fix the bug.

The attached patch contains a test that demonstrates the bug.
