> GenericArray (or more precisely GenericData$Array) implements the java.util.List interface but breaks the equals specification (and the hashCode one if it's coherent though I haven't checked). More precisely, no List can be equal to a GenericArray unless it is a GenericArray itself. It makes using a "List" from an Avro Object fairly dangerous to use.
