[jira] [Commented] (AVRO-1201) CLONE - GenericRecord.toString can produce invalid JSON

["Sharmarke Aden (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1201?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13494073#comment-13494073 ] 

Sharmarke Aden commented on AVRO-1201:
--------------------------------------

GenericData toString() method doesn't check to see if "datum instanceof Enum" and appropriately handle enums. This results in an invalid json being produced similar to the one seen in AVRO-713.

> {"enum_field":"a"}
