> Stringable types are java classes that can be serialized through strings (which require a single string constructor and a valid toString() implementation). ReflectData currently has support from stringable types but it would be desirable to get this feature with SpecificData. 
> The work involves changes to the SpecificCompiler (depends on {{@java-class}} support in AVRO-1267) to generate the specific sources with the proper java type as well as moving the ReflectDatumReader and ReflectDatumWriter to read the java-class property.
