Philip Zeyliger updated AVRO-298:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: AVRO-298.patch.txt

Attaching a patch which adds generics to {Specific,Reflect}Datum{ReaderWriter}. 
 If the DatumWriter interface is parameterized, as it is, this seems like the 
right thing.  My test for this was iterating until "ant clean compile-java 
compile-test-java" didn't show any warnings; the type-erased code is identical, 
I believe.

I suspect that the Requestor hierarchy might need similar treatment, but one at 
at time.

> Dynamic and Specific APIs could be generified for better type safety

> Jon Hsieh pointed out that ReflectDatumWriter always returned a 
> DatumWriter<Object>, though it's often clear (by the way the schema is 
> constructed) that there's a more specific type that could be used.  In the 
> quote below, the second line would be preferable to the third.
> {noformat}
>   Schema schema = reflectData.getSchema(MyObject.class);
>   // DatumWriter<MyObject> writer = new ReflectDatumWriter(schema);
>   DatumWriter<Object> writer = new ReflectDatumWriter(schema);
> {noformat}
