             Summary: Support schema generation for plain old C# objects (POCOs)
                 Key: AVRO-2977
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2977
             Project: Apache Avro
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: csharp
    Affects Versions: 1.10.0
            Reporter: Corey Fritz


AVRO-2389 added support for serialization/deserialization of POCOs, but it requires knowledge of an Avro schema ahead of time. The reflection support for Java has a really nice feature where a schema can be generated at runtime based on the structure of the Java class, plus some optional annotations to override default behavior.

[https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/release-1.10.0/lang/java/avro/src/main/java/org/apache/avro/reflect/ReflectData.java#L625]

This allows Java developers to model their data using POJOs, and not have to worry about also maintaining a compatible Avro schema. Would be great if we could get similar functionality for C#.
