> Although possible with SpecificData (schema generated classes), the ReflectData currently lacks a way to have a declaration such as {code}java.util.List<String> myList;{code} to be able to generate a nullable schema {code}{ "type": "array", "items": ["null", "string"] }{code} instead of the current {code}{ "type": "array", "items": "string" }{code}
> There are {{@Union}} and {{@Nullable}} annotations available, but they cannot be applied to the above parameterised Collection declaration.
