Thiruvalluvan M. G. updated AVRO-2070:
--------------------------------------
    Component/s: java

> Tolerate any Number when writing primitive values in Java in GenericDatumWriter
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
>                 Key: AVRO-2070
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2070
>             Project: Apache Avro
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: java
>            Reporter: Daniil Gitelson
>            Priority: Major
>
> Tolerating any Number (instead of concrete Long, Double, Float) makes possible to use mutable Number implmentation for performance reasons (specially for primitive collection iterations)
> Currently, this only works for int only:
> {code:java}
>       // Here it works
>       case INT:     out.writeInt(((Number)datum).intValue()); break;
>       // This should be replaced with ((Number)datum).longValue() etc
>       case LONG:    out.writeLong((Long)datum);       break;
>       case FLOAT:   out.writeFloat((Float)datum);     break;
>       case DOUBLE:  out.writeDouble((Double)datum);   break;
> {code}
