> BlockingBinaryEncoder which extends BufferedBinaryEncoder should override "public void writeFixed(ByteBuffer bytes) throws IOException" method.
> Now if we use BlockingBinaryEncoder - all writeFixed(ByteBuffer bytes) are addressed by BufferedBinaryEncoder. As a result, if  "!bytes.hasArray() && bytes.remaining() > bulkLimit", then in flushBuffer() we flush empty buffer from BufferedBinaryEncoder and don't flush actual buffer from BlockingBinaryEncoder.
> I prepared localized unit tests to replicate bugs here: https://github.com/Spikhalskiy/avro-blockingbinaryencoder-error
> Bug could appears in silently incorrect serialization (We will read another object) or in deserialization errors. Both replicated in provided tests.
> Looks like BlockingBinaryEncoder which extends BufferedBinaryEncoder is error-prone approach and mistake in class hierarchy. We mostly override everything from BufferedBinaryEncoder, creating unused buffers and fields (like double pos, buf, etc), and it's already not first bug relating to "somebody forget to override method in BlockingBinaryEncoder from BufferedBinaryEncoder" (ex. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-88). So, this classes should be separated at all or have common interface, or at least work with same buffer and pos instances. But BlockingBinaryEncoder shouldn't inherit method implementations, which work with another buffer object.
