Jumping on Hans question as well -- is there a means to coerce data written as byte[] into String (and the other way around) ?

We use Avro code generation for speed and type enforcement in our environment normally but one of the data sources out of our control. This other source doesn't use a namespace which means our use of codegen isnt possible in java. Is there a way for us to read the data into our codegenerated classes (only difference is the namespace) from the namespaceless files we receive? Without doing double class allocation?
