Avro will throw a `SecurityException` instead of instantiating non-permitted classes. Set the system property `org.apache.avro.SERIALIZABLE_PACKAGES` to `*`, or call `ClassSecurityValidator.setGlobal(...)`, to restore the old behavior. Review Comment: Thanks for clarifying! It is the static fields of SpecificDatumReader (both) that are deprecated, not the system properties. https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/326950f40c1172f7564c757b0e51c39883721083/lang/java/avro/src/main/java/org/apache/avro/specific/SpecificDatumReader.java#L39-L53 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
