>             Project: Avro
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: java
>    Affects Versions: 1.8.0
>            Reporter: Niels Basjes
>            Assignee: Niels Basjes
>             Fix For: 1.8.0

> The currently generated code contains these two methods for the Builder instances (code sample was simplified):
> {code}public Request.Builder setConnection(NetworkConnection value)
> public Request.Builder setConnectionBuilder(NetworkConnection.Builder value){code}
> My proposal: Add in addition the method:
> {code}public Request.Builder setConnection(NetworkConnection.Builder value){code}
> Advantage:
> * You can do {{.setConnection(something)}} and pass either a {{NetworkConnection}} or a {{NetworkConnection.Builder}}.
> * User code becomes a bit more readable.
> Disadvantages:
> * Explicitly setting a {{null}} will trigger a "Multiple implementations" error and as such will need an explicit typecast.
> ** _This may be considered breaking backward compatibility!_
> To solve this you must do either this:
> {code}.setConnection((NetworkConnection)null){code}
> or this {code}
> NetworkConnection nc = null;
> ...
> .setConnection(nc){code}
