>            Reporter: Peter

> When you do a .newBuilder() for avro generated classes, this will call
> org.apache.avro.specific.SpecificData.getForSchema:
>  
> public static SpecificData getForSchema(Schema reader) {
>     if (reader.getType() == Type.RECORD) {
>       final String className = getClassName(reader);
>       if (className != null) {
>         final Class<?> clazz;
>         try             
> {
>                              clazz = Class.forName(className);   
>                 return getForClass(clazz);             }
>           catch (ClassNotFoundException e)
> {           return SpecificData.get();
>          }
>       }
>     }
>  
> which seems then to seldom find the value inside the try and a lot of ClassNotFoundException is thrown.
> Throwing internal exceptions has great performance penalties and in practice users of avro 1.9.x. and 1.10.x in high performance applications are forced not to use builders.
>  
> Information about same problem is also found on:
> [https://forums.databricks.com/questions/50803/orgapacheavrospecificspecificdatagetforschema-sear.html]
> Problem exists on at least 1.9.2 and 1.10.1 (but not on 1.7.x) in OSGI environment
