[jira] Commented: (AVRO-200) Let Utf8 implement java.io.Serializable

["Doug Cutting (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-200?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12778479#action_12778479 ] 

Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-200:
-----------------------------------

Wouldn't all Avro data-representation classes need to be serializeable for this to be useful?

Also, note that you could, e.g. override GenericDatumReader#createString() to return a subclass of Utf8 that implements Serializeable.

> Is there any reason that Utf8 is not serializable? I can't think of any problems with letting it implement the Serializable interface. Which I would like because then I can send my Avro objects over the wire/ serialize them with other mechanisms than Avro.
