[jira] Commented: (AVRO-208) java specific compiler doesn't check for ambiguous enums

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-208?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12828194#action_12828194 ] 

Thiruvalluvan M. G. commented on AVRO-208:
------------------------------------------

ValidatingEncoder/Decoder and ResolvingDecoder will have problem with empty enums. The encoder/decoder will expect a call to write/read enum. But with every value, it'll throw an error stating the value is invalid. I guess GenericDatumWriter/Reader will have the problem as well.

I think it's best not to allow empty enums.
