Robert Chu created AVRO-1476:
--------------------------------

             Summary: Make position field of org.apache.avro.Schema not transient.
                 Key: AVRO-1476
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1476
             Project: Avro
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: java
    Affects Versions: 1.8.0, 1.7.7
            Reporter: Robert Chu
            Priority: Minor


Referring to: https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/trunk/lang/java/avro/src/main/java/org/apache/avro/Schema.java#L358

Christophe Taton did some research into possible causes/reasons for this field to be marked as transient but was unable to find any reason. The org.apache.avro.Schema class is not marked as serializable so this transient field serves no purpose. This transient field can cause odd behaviors with external serialization frameworks (and the built-in java serialization framework) when trying to serialize schemas.
