Gary Yao commented on FLINK-12501: ---------------------------------- I removed _"The `AvroTypeSerializer` now works with types that are generated from Avrohugger, an Avro plugin for Scala."_ from the release notes. We do not include all bug fixes in the release notes, and I do not see how this one differs from other bug fixes. > AvroTypeSerializer does not work with types generated by avrohugger > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-12501 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-12501 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Formats (JSON, Avro, Parquet, ORC, SequenceFile) > Reporter: Aljoscha Krettek > Assignee: Aljoscha Krettek > Priority: Major > Labels: pull-request-available > Fix For: 1.9.1, 1.10.0 > > Time Spent: 10m > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > The main problem is that the code in {{SpecificData.createSchema()}} tries to > reflectively read the {{SCHEMA$}} field, that is normally there in Avro > generated classes. However, avrohugger generates this field in a companion > object, which the reflective Java code will therefore not find. > This is also described in these ML threads: > * > [https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/5db58c7d15e4e9aaa515f935be3b342fe036e97d32e1fb0f0d1797ee@%3Cuser.flink.apache.org%3E] > * > [https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/cf1c5b8fa7f095739438807de9f2497e04ffe55237c5dea83355112d@%3Cuser.flink.apache.org%3E] -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
