AVRO-1810: Fix GenericDatumWriter w/ enums (#462)



> GenericDatumWriter broken with Enum
> -----------------------------------

>                 Key: AVRO-1810
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1810
>             Project: Apache Avro
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: java
>    Affects Versions: 1.8.0
>            Reporter: Ryon Day
>            Priority: Blocker
>             Fix For: 1.9.0, 1.8.4

> Using the GenericDatumWriter with either Generic OR SpecificRecord will break if an Enum is present.

> I have been tracking Avro decoding oddities for a while.
> The tests for this issue can be found [here|https://github.com/ryonday/avroDecodingHelp/blob/master/src/test/java/com/ryonday/test/Avro180EnumFail.java]
> {panel}
> {panel:title=Notes|titleBGColor=#3AF|bgColor=#DDD}
> Due to the debacle that is the Avro "UTF8" object, we have been avoiding it by using the following scheme:
> * Write incoming records to a byte array using the GenericDatumWriter
> * Read back the byte array to our compiled Java domain objects using a SpecificDatumWriter
> This worked great with Avro 1.7.7, and this is a binary-incompatable breaking change with 1.8.0.
> This would appear to be caused by an addition in the {{GenericDatumWriter:163-164}}:
> {code}
>   if (!data.isEnum(datum))
>       throw new AvroTypeException("Not an enum: "+datum);
> {code}
> {panel}
