> When trying to serialize Java classes generated by Avro that contain a field as follows:
> `array<MyClass> myclasses = []`
> serialization fails with the following error message
> `com.esotericsoftware.kryo.KryoException: Class cannot be created (missing no-arg constructor)`
> This is a common enough issue with Kryo that they have a dedicated section on their website on it: http://docs.datatorrent.com/troubleshooting/#application-throwing-following-kryo-exception
> The attached patch adds a no args constructor for the inner class Array of GenericData with zero entries and a dummy schema. My personal tests for serialization with Kryo were successful when using it. Since I do not have complete insight into Avro I'd like to know if this could be a breaking change and how to test it if so.
