[jira] [Updated] (AVRO-1743) BlockingBinaryEncoder should override writeFixed(ByteBuffer bytes)

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1743?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Dmitry Spikhalskiy updated AVRO-1743:
-------------------------------------
    Description: 
BlockingBinaryEncoder, which extends BufferedBinaryEncoder should override "public void writeFixed(ByteBuffer bytes) throws IOException" method.
Now if we use BlockingBinaryEncoder - all writeFixed(ByteBuffer bytes) are addressed by BufferedBinaryEncoder. As a result, if  "!bytes.hasArray() && bytes.remaining() > bulkLimit", then in flushBuffer() we flush empty buffer from BufferedBinaryEncoder and don't flush actual buffer from BlockingBinaryEncoder.

I prepared localized unit tests to replicate bugs here: https://github.com/Spikhalskiy/avro-blockingbinaryencoder-error

Looks like BlockingBinaryEncoder which extended BufferedBinaryEncoder is error prone approach and problem in hierarchy. We mostly override everything from BufferedBinaryEncoder, creating unused buffers and fields (like double pos, buf, etc), and it's already not first bug relating to "somebody forget to override method in BlockingBinaryEncoder from BufferedBinaryEncoder" (ex. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-88). So, this classed should be separated at all or have common interface, or at least works with same buffer and pos values. But BlockingBinaryEncoder shouldn't inherit method implementations, which work with another buffer object
