> Given how critical is Java API compatibility for the downstream ecosystem we
> should add a backwards compatibiliy check as part of the build system. The
> Avro Java implementation has never guaranteed full backwards compatibility
> but we have cared to rarely break it. With this if we decide to improve the
> APIs at least we can track the reasoning.
