User.Builder userBuilder = User.newBuilder(); // Step-1: Logic: set fields on userBuilder, potentially emit User object by building it userBuilder.build() // Step-2: Clear the contents on userBuilder, by calling userBuilder.clearAll() (new feature) // Step-3: Go back to Step-1 *Avro Getting Started:* http://avro.apache.org/docs/1.7.7/gettingstartedjava.html#Creating+Users Thanks, - Maulik On Tue, Jan 6, 2015 at 3:33 PM, Maulik Gandhi <mmg...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello Avro Users, > > Questions: > > 1.
