[GitHub] [avro] Danny02 opened a new pull request, #1915: AVRO-3644: [java] Support java.util.Optional in reflect package
Danny02 opened a new pull request, #1915:
URL: https://github.com/apache/avro/pull/1915
Why:
Javas Optional type can not be used in any meaningful way with the reflection-based schema generation. It is for example not possible to write a generic custom encoding.
How does it help with resolving the issue:
Optional can be used to make fields null safe in their usage.
Side effects:
I think that this change should not have any side effects, because Optional fields could not have been used in the past.
## What is the purpose of the change
Implementing AVRO-3644.
## Verifying this change
- *Added test that validates that a correct schema is generated*
- *Added test that validates that Optional fields can be serialized and deserialized*
## Documentation
- **This is my big question. Is the reflection serialization documented anywhere?**
